What’s new: The United Nations will hold the second session of the 15th Biodiversity Conference in December in Montreal, Canada, rather than in China as previously arranged, according to a statement released by the Chinese environment ministry on Tuesday.
The Chinese government, the secretariat of the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity and the Canadian government reached an agreement on the relocation of the venue, the statement said, adding that China will still hold the presidency of the meeting.
