Indispensable biodiversity

Céline Caron-Dagioni, Government Advisor and Minister of Equipment, Environment and Town Planning, was present throughout the COP by video-conference. In particular, she took part in the round table on “Placing biodiversity on the road to recovery”.

It is an opportunity to underline the extent to which biodiversity is an indispensable challenge for cities, contributing to enriching the environment and saving humanity from global warming.  Urban development in favour of biodiversity is a priority in the fight against the decline of flora and fauna.
