The Executive Director's Statement to the 150th Meeting of the Committee of Permanent Representatives

While the efforts of all your capitals are correctly focused on preventing human suffering, as parts of the world move slowly towards recovery, the environmental agenda remains one of our most powerful insurance policies in preventing future global pandemics like COVID-19.
