"Montréal and the surrounding municipalities are really stepping up to host this conference. I want to especially thank the Mohawk Nation and the communities of Kanesatake, Kahnawake, and Akwesasne who continue to welcome us to their territories. We are walking the path of reconciliation and conservation together, and I was honoured to bring that shared spirit of partnership when visiting the Indigenous Village today. This spirit of partnership was also on full display in the announcement I attended with the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal, representing 82 municipalities, who announced they would strive towards thirty percent protection nature areas by 2030, matching the federal target."
The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Our call as youth, is that even after this framework, is that we continue to be critical of business as usual, because business as usual is what got us here. And we need to just continue to push strongly for actions that stop the same greenwashing, the same injustice, the same greed that has brought us here."
Josefa Tauli ? youth delegate, Global Youth Biodiversity Network and International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity
