Convention on Biological Diversity
The purpose of Canada’s membership in the CBD is to preserve biological diversity and to promote sustainable development, domestically and globally. Canada’s participation and contribution to achieving the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity is also of relevance to the Government’s overall agenda as outlined in the April 2006 Speech from the Throne, whereby the Government committed to take measures to achieve tangible improvements in our environment. Protecting biological diversity has a positive impact on our economic, environmental and social development interests.
