Press Release

Joint release by Dr. Ahmed Djoghlaf, Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity, and Peter Bridgewater, Secretary General of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.

Wetlands present major opportunities to avoid the unmanageable and manage the unavoidable. Better awareness of wetland-biodiversity-climate change inter-linkages can significantly improve policies and management in a rapidly changing world. This year’s theme for the International Day for Biological Diversity, Biodiversity and Climate Change, is a fitting moment for us to launch this major new report on climate change. The report is filled with key issues, messages and responses, backed by supporting information, to help governments and the general community.
