On #EarthDay, let us reflect on our relationship with Mother Earth. The #KMGBF offers a path to recovery, with targets to conserve and restore 30% of biodiversity before 2030. Let’s act & implement the framework to create a sustainable future for all! cbd.int/

The past eight years were the warmest on record globally. We can’t relinquish our future to inaction. We need urgent, large-scale & systemic #ClimateAction now.

I'm very frustrated that global leaders are still not giving the climate emergency the action and investment it requires. Words are not enough. Without #ClimateAction, climate catastrophe is coming for all of us.

Final thoughts on #COP15 - this holds as true today as it was when Leopold wrote it. Saw signs in Montreal that this lesson is understood by all that were there. We still have much work to do to teach others but the GBF will succeed only when this lesson in understood by all! – at South Dundas, Ontario

Very proud to be a part of it and support the efforts of the incredible Canadian delegation that was formed. Started in Geneva for me, supported remotely for the Nairobi meeting and finished in Montreal. An unexpected journey and a very good outcome. Thanks @s_guilbeault #COP15 – at South Stormont, Ontario

United for biodiversity. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Our city, our province, our country stepped up to make this happen.

Wish I had been able to be in the room even at that early hour in the morning and as awkward as it is also ended up being. Pleased to see that efforts were made to draw the DRC back into process. Hope that continues and African nations feel supported and heard! #COP15 – at Montréal, Québec

Perfect summary of my own thoughts and feelings. Plus in my case throw in some COVID to top it all off. Totally worth it!! – at Montréal, Québec

I am too exhausted to tweet about the outcomes of #COP15 other than to say we have a new Global Biodiversity Framework. Its not perfect by any means - but my goodness if we achieved our commitments globally by 2030 - imagine what the world might be like? @RSPBNews @UNBiodiversity

Finally we have the Kunming-Montreal moment for #Nature! By 2030: 30% land, freshwater, ocean protected 30% of degraded ecosystems restored 30B$ financial resources A historical Global Biodiversity Framework to Halt & Reverse Nature Loss #NaturePositive

Waiting on plenary to start for adoption of decisions at #COP15 - anticipation is a bit tortuous. Worse yet I am missing my CanDel colleagues as I went down with COVID day before last. So this is my view from the Westin across the street - sipping on a NyQuil waiting…

During France vs. Argentina, a different match is also playing out: Planet Earth vs. Status Quo. Latest text from #COP15 @UNBiodiversity Summit in #Montreal just released: 👉 cbd.int/doc/c/7a5e/1d9a/f871…. We are all players here! Let's win back our future. #GenerationRestoration

Global youth are calling for a future in harmony with nature. 🌏🌱 We need to ensure that current and future generations have a clean, healthy and sustainable environment. At #COP15, young people are showing the potential of transformative change to #StopTheSame. #YouthAtCOP15
