“The world now has two fields of action to move towards a sustainable economy by 2050”, emphasized the President of the Commission
The “historic outcome” of COP15 held in Montreal was hailed today by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, referring to the agreement adopted by more than 190 countries at the conference in Canada aimed at halting the destruction of biodiversity and natural resources that they are essential to humanity.
This agreement constitutes “a road map for the protection and restoration of nature”, noted the president of the Commission, underlining that it “complements” that of Paris for the Climate.
“The world now has two fields of action to move towards a sustainable economy by 2050,” von der Leyen also stressed.
At the same time, the EU Commissioner for the Environment Virginius Sinkevičius noted that this agreement “can really change the situation”.
“Of course we will now have to move from paper to implementation. This is generally the most difficult part,” continued the European Commissioner.
“It could be stronger, but once again we have to recognize that this is a compromise,” he added.
The agreement reached during the 15th Conference of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, the so-called COP15 Biodiversity, in Montreal, was characterized by Canadian Environment Minister Stephen Guilbeau, “a truly historic moment”, as he added, referring to the Paris agreement on Climate, “we’ve finally hit the ‘Paris moment’ for biodiversity here in Montreal.”
