Scanlon, Secrétaire général de la CITES, s’adressant à la 41e réunion du Conseil du FEM Je vous remercie Madame la Présidente directrice générale et Mesdames et Messieurs les Membres du Conseil – le Comité permanent de la CITES examinant actuellement l’accès aux finances, y compris le financement du FEM, je suis heureux d’avoir la possibilité de m’adresser à vous.
by John E. Scanlon, Secretary-General of CITES (first posted on www.iisd.org on 9 September 2011) We need “all hands on deck” to deliver on the Strategic Plan and Aichi Biodiversity Targets! Global Biodiversity Outlook 3 provided us with a stark reminder of the challenges that lie ahead in achieving the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. The reality is there is no one convention or organization that can alone address the challenges ahead – we need “all hands on deck”!
