加拿大欢迎世界莅临生物多样性大会，携手护卫大自然

从大西洋爱德华王子岛的红色沙滩，到西部白雪皑皑的落基山脉，再到覆盖加拿大北极大部分地区的永久冻土——加拿大以她的自然景观而闻名。大自然是我们加拿大人的一部分，而它正在受到威胁。今天，我们欢迎世界来到加拿大，以确保大自然依然是我们人类未来世代的一部分。

12 月 6 日，贾斯廷·特鲁多总理在蒙特利尔欢迎来自世界各地的代表参加第十五届联合国生物多样性公约缔约方大会 (COP15)。 作为自然保护领域的全球领导者，加拿大主动上前成为 2022 年 12 月 7 日至 19 日举行的 COP15 的举办地，并再次呼吁采取具有雄心的行动来保护自然。

 

总理在开幕词中强调，加拿大致力于确保第十五届缔约方会议取得成功，愿与国际伙伴合作，就雄心勃勃的 2020 年后全球生物多样性框架(GBF)达成协议。全球生物多样性框架将提供一个集体路线图，指导到 2030 年全球生物多样性保护工作。

 

为了支持这一目标，特鲁多总理今天宣布，加拿大将提供 3.5 亿元新的投入，支持拥有世界上绝大多数生物多样性的发展中国家推进保护工作。这笔资金将支持未来 GBF 的实施。除此之外，加拿大已经承诺为气候行动项目提供超过 10 亿元的支持，以应对气候变化对发展中国家生物多样性丧失的影响。

 

此项新投资进一步确立加拿大在保护自然方面的全球领导者地位。自 2016 年以来，我们已经进行了数十亿元的历史性投资，以保护国内和世界各地的自然和生物多样性。通过主动上前并将世界汇聚于蒙特利尔，我们可以阻止生物多样性的丧失，为子孙后代营造一个健康的地球。

 

引述

加拿大总理贾斯廷·特鲁多（Justin Trudeau）阁下：

“当人们想到加拿大时，他们想到的是我国如画的景观以及我们丰盈的自然——这些都是形成我们特质的一部分。今天，我们欢迎全世界莅临蒙特利尔，继续携手努力，确保我们留给子孙后代的地球拥有清新的空气、干净的水和丰富的自然资源。”

 

环境和气候变化部长史蒂文·吉宝尔（Steven Guilbeault）阁下：

“保护大自然的斗争从来没有像现在这样重要。全世界有 100 万个物种濒临灭绝的危险，第十五届联合国生物多样性公约缔约方大会是一个世代的机会，让我们携手合作，共同阻止和扭转生物多样性的丧失，创造一个对自然有利的世界。加拿大主动承担，欢迎全世界光临本次会议，并将其视为一个凝聚联邦、省、地区和原住民之雄心的机会，实现在2030 年前保护我们 30%的土地和水域。”

o 这些投资包括超过 4.4 亿元用于支持第一民族、因纽特人和梅蒂斯人通过其独特的权利和认识方式保护自然和生物多样性。这也是推进与原住民和解的一个重要部分。

· 在 COP15 大会之前的几周，加拿大已经宣布为国内的保护举措提供超过 1.85 亿元的资金，并为面临风险的物种采取了重要步骤，包括：

o 通过自然智能气候解决方案基金提供 1.09 亿元，用于全国 40 个保护项目；

o 通过增强自然遗产倡议提供 6000 多万元，用于支持加拿大一些最具标志性物种的恢复和保护；

o 就帝王蝶和西部大黄蜂的生存状况评估展开公众咨询。

· 第 15 次联合国生物多样性公约缔约方大会（COP15）汇集了来自 190 多个国家和成员国的近 20,000 名代表，围绕生物多样性保护进行重要的谈判和对话。

Canada welcomes the world for COP15 to protect nature

December 6, 2022 Montréal, Quebec Prime Minister’s Office

From the red sand beaches of Prince Edward Island in the Atlantic, to the snow-capped Rockies in the West, to the permafrost that covers much of the Canadian Arctic – Canada is known for our landscapes. Nature is part of who we are as Canadians, but it is under threat. Today, we are welcoming the world to Canada to make sure nature remains part of who we will be for generations to come.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, was in Montréal today to welcome delegates from around the world to the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity. As a global leader in conservation, Canada stepped up to be the host location for COP15 from December 7 to 19, 2022, and renew the call for ambitious action to protect nature.

In his opening remarks, the Prime Minister highlighted Canada’s commitment to ensuring COP15 is a success by working with international partners to reach an agreement on an ambitious Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). The GBF would provide a collective roadmap that will guide worldwide efforts on biodiversity conservation until 2030.

In support of this goal, Prime Minister Trudeau today announced that Canada will provide a new contribution of $350 million to support developing countries – home to the vast majority of the world’s biodiversity – to advance conservation efforts. This funding will support the implementation of the future GBF. This is in addition to the more than $1 billion Canada has already pledged to support climate action projects that address the effects of climate change on biodiversity loss in developing countries.

Today’s new investment further positions Canada as a global leader in protecting nature. It is in addition to billions of dollars in historic investments we have made since 2016 to conserve nature and biodiversity here at home and around the world. By stepping up and bringing the world together in Montréal, we can stop biodiversity loss and build a healthy planet for future generations.

Quotes

―When people think of Canada, they think of our landscapes and the richness of our nature – parts of who we are. Today, we welcome the world to Montréal to continue working together to make sure the planet we leave to our kids and grandkids has clean air, clean water, and an abundance of nature to enjoy.‖

The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada

―The fight to protect nature has never been more important than it is right now. With a million species at risk of extinction around the world, COP15 is a generational opportunity to work together to halt and reverse biodiversity loss and create a nature positive world. Canada stepped up to welcome the world for this conference and sees it as an opportunity to rally federal, provincial, territorial, and Indigenous ambition to protect 30 per cent of our lands and waters by 2030.‖

The Hon. Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change

commit to conserving 30 per cent of the world’s land and oceans by 2030.

change, and create jobs.

o These investments include more than $440 million to support First

Nations, Inuit, and Métis to protect nature and biodiversity through their

unique rights and ways of knowing. It also is an important part of

advancing reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.
