鈥淪ubnational governments and local authorities play a major role in global efforts to protect the environment. This is a significant step forward for the Union, which will strengthen the governance of nature, from local action at the city scale to large regions and territories,鈥 said 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Director General Dr Bruno Oberle. 鈥淐ollectively, these new 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Members demonstrate that subnational governments are at the forefront of the global response to the biodiversity and climate crises.鈥
Subnational governments and local authorities are directly concerned by the implementation of numerous resolutions from the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 World Congress in Marseille, such as the fight against the artificialisation of soils, Nature-based Solutions, maritime spatial planning, marine plastic and light pollution, and alternatives to pesticides.
These new Members open the way to strengthening subnational action on biodiversity on the eve of the adoption of the next global biodiversity strategy at the CBD COP15 this year.
