At #COP15 we signed with @VSinkevicius an important agreement with Guyana. Thanks to this, European companies that buy timber from local forests will be sure that the products are legal. This will help both biodiversity and climate protection. CZPRES #ForNature #deforestation

The Executive Committee of the CLRTAP is finishing in Geneva. It was triggered by the damage to ecosystems by acid rain. It´s considered one of the most successful international treaties in the field of environmental protection. #CZPRES

[Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic @MoE_CZ]

The #CZPRES is preparing for high level segment at #COP15 in Montreal. With Commissioner @VSinkeviciuS we agree that developing countries' demand for increased financial resources is entirely legitimate. Now we need to find a path on which all parties can agree. #ForNature

[Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic @MoE_CZ]

Healthy nature and landscapes protect us from the impacts of climate change such as droughts, floods and heat waves. Healthy ecosystems are worth around half of the world's GDP. That's why at #COP15 in Montreal, countries are discussing how best to protect biodiversity #ForNature

Another success of the Czech Presidency: more sustainable batteries! New rules will ensure sustainable production, improve the collection of all batteries or prioritise high recycling rates. It will apply to all batteries: in mobile phones, cars or e-bikes. #CZPRES
