COP27 and COP15, what are the links?
The issues of global warming and biodiversity loss are intrinsically linked and have a two-way relationship. However, although the Earth Summit in 1992 gave birth to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Convention on Climate Change, international negotiations are conducted in parallel. So, what are the connections to be made between these two COPs? How can the progress of one of these Conferences of the Parties influence the other? What can we expect from these two summits this year?

November 16 debriefing
We find our team on site in Egypt for a report on this ninth day which aims to welcome leaders from around the world to the Conference of the Parties to present high-level ambitions and actions with a view to maintaining a threshold 1.5°C within reach, adapt to protect communities and natural habitats and mobilize funding. members of civil society. They make it possible to ensure greater transparency between the “in camera” discussions of the negotiators and the rest of the population, in addition to reducing the risk of a gap between the discourse and the international commitments of those elected and their practices.

Conserving Canada's boreal forests: a priority to meet the targets set by the Paris Agreement
House of Sustainable Development
Room Clark
50 Sainte-Catherine Street West
Of major importance culturally, economically and environmentally, Canada's boreal forests are now being logged for toilet paper production. In fact, half a million hectares of boreal forest are cut down each year, the equivalent of seven field hockey rinks per minute. Yet these forests provide invaluable services to citizens and nature. In fact, in addition to being a true carbon sink, they are home to 70% of Aboriginal communities. Come to the screening of a part of the documentary film "The Issue with Tissue - a boreal love story" directed by Michael Zelniker, who will be present for this occasion followed by a discussion with Quebec actors of forest management and protection.
