Secretary-General of the United Nations António Guterres,State Councilor and Foreign Minister of China Wang Yi, and Foreign Minister of France Jean-Yves Le Drian met on the margins of the G20 Summit in Osaka to stress the urgency of addressing climate change and biodiversity loss, noting both the IPCC 1.5°C Special Report and IPBES Global Assessment.
They emphasized a need to increase finance for nature-based solutions, the creation of jobs to transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy, and to develop the links between climate change and biodiversity to prompt a global response to biodiversity loss, particularly with the Convention on Biological Diversity's COP15 in 2020.
