"This Congress has a special meaning because all countries must show ambition and responsibility to obtain a new global strategic framework for biodiversity in Kumming." - Barbara Pompili, Minister for Ecological Transition of France, Opening ceremony of the IUCN Congress (3 September 2021)
"The urgency is to resynchronise these two agendas [CBD CoP and UNFCCC]. It is to succeed in making people understand that the battle for the climate, against climate disruption, is twinned with the battle to preserve and restore biodiversity, and both feed off each other. We have fallen behind on biodiversity and we must catch up. " - Emmanuel Macron, President of France, Opening ceremony of the IUCN Congress (3 September 2021)
