With biodiversity declining at unprecedented rates worldwide, Canada stands at an important crossroads.
Earlier this year, Canada was one of the first nations to submit its plan to implement the Kunming-Montréal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF). The KMGBF is a landmark agreement signed in Montréal in 2022 during the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. In this move, Canada has positioned itself as a leader in the global commitment to halt and reverse biodiversity loss.
But ambition on paper must now translate into real co-ordinated action.
