Genome Canada is pleased to join the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity in Montréal, Quebec from Dec. 7 – 19, 2022. 

COP15 is an international meeting bringing together governments from around the world to set out new goals and develop an action plan for nature over the next decade. This year’s conference focus is protecting nature and halting biodiversity loss around the world (more on Canada.ca).

Why is Genome Canada at COP15?

Genomics is enabling vital tools and solutions to monitor biodiversity and drive effective conservation strategies. This science can be used to identify biodiversity markers, mitigate human-made impacts to the environment and build climate change resilience. Deep collaboration and cross-sectoral partnership are key to slowing and reversing biodiversity loss. We are pleased to seize the COP15 opportunity, alongside partner organizations from the Canadian Genomics Enterprise, to connect with Canadian and global leaders to strengthen our collective approach to the biodiversity challenge.
