Acting Executive Secretary
Convention on Biological Diversity 

Dear Mr. Copper, 

This webinar was open to all interested organizations, and it aimed to inform a very broad group of people from civil society, involved to a greater or lesser extent in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) process at different levels, on the results of COP15 in Montreal last December.  Thanks for joining

Thank you Mr President,
I am speaking on behalf of the CBD Alliance.

We regret the process by which the package was adopted early this morning. It was unjust and unfair. Decisions in this COP are adopted by consensus and we did not see consensus. Much more effort could have been made to arrive at consensus.
