Hon. Therese Coffey, MP, Ministers from other Forest countries, and Chief Executives of the private sector, at the Lancaster House, London, United Kingdom, for the Nature Action – Private Sector Mobilization Event.
The purpose of this event was to catalyse and demonstrate delivery of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), a landmark agreement adopted at the 15th Session of the Conference of Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity, held in Montreal, Canada.
Our deliberations outlined how Governments, Indigenous Leaders, Private Sector and Civil Society will support the delivery of the GBF, the 10-Point Plan for financing biodiversity and the shift towards a nature and climate positive economy.
This momentous colloquium ended with a working reception, hosted by the King of the United Kingdom, His Majesty King Charles III at the Buckingham Palace.
Forest and nature-based solutions have proven to be one of the potent and verifiable solutions to climate change. And Ghana, as a respected member of the international community, under the distinguished leadership of President Akufo-Addo, will continue to work with all stakeholders, domestic and international, to halt climate change and deliver 1.5 degrees for peoples and planet.
