Monaco Takes Part in the 12th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS)

Ms. Isabelle Rosabrunetto, Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, accompanied by Mr. Raphaël Simonet, Head of Division at the Department of the Environment and Ms. Céline Van Klaveren-Impagliazzo, Head of Section at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, will participate in the 12th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (COP 12 of the CMS), to be held from 23 to 28 October in Manila, in the Philippines.

 

COP 12 of the CMS will be the largest wildlife conference of the year;  more than 500 delegates are expected, from more than 120 countries.  It will also be the first COP of the CMS to be held in Asia. 

In addition to the planned negotiating sessions, the programme for the week includes 50 side events and a high-level round table. 

The theme of this COP, "Their future is our future - sustainable development for wildlife and people" reflects the intrinsic link between the world's wildlife, the environment and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

COP12 of the CMS is a unique opportunity to raise public awareness of the crucial role of migratory species in human survival.  Its aim is therefore to demonstrate that the protection of migratory species of wildlife should be considered a priority. 

In particular, this Conference will be an opportunity to focus on the vital services that migratory species offer - as a source of food and medicine, as pollinators, seed dispersers and as a means of pest control. 

It will also be an opportunity to highlight the many individual and collective efforts that are currently being made in support of international efforts to conserve the world's wildlife.
