The Office for Science and Technology of the Embassy of France in the US, in partnership with Embassies of France in Canada are pleased to hold a French Ameri-Can Climate on Biodiversity (FACT-B)


How to reach 30% of protected areas by 2030?
According to the latest report of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), one million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction due to human activities, with disastrous consequences for the ecosystems on which people depend for their livelihoods.

Promoted by the scientific community, the creation and management of protected areas (national parks, nature reserves, regional nature parks, etc.) contribute to the fight against the collapse of biodiversity. France and the United States have committed to protecting 30% of their land and water areas by 2030. Canada is also mobilizing to protect its natural areas with an intermediate objective of 25% by 2025.

Following the success of the French Ameri-Can Climate on Biodiversity (FACT-B) launched in 2019, the Embassies of France in the U.S. and Canada are pleased to hold a FACT-B in 2022 regarding this issue of protected land and marine areas.

This FACT-B consists in a series of three high-level conversations as cross-section of conservation and protection policies for natural areas in the United States, Canada and France from academia, government agencies, NGOs, and think tanks.

The goal of FACT-B is twofold: to raise public and decision makers’ awareness about biodiversity issues and policies in France, the U.S. and Canada, as well as to reinforce exchanges between scientists and policy experts on biodiversity and conservation issues along with providing a public forum for discussion.

FACT-B is part of France’s broader efforts to make biodiversity conservation a priority at the international level, similarly to the fight against climate change.
