Message to all young people from Ahmed Djoghlaf, Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity |

| The Convention on Biological Diversity is about life on Earth, and you are the epitome of life. By protecting the biodiversity of the planet, you will protect your future and preserve life on Earth. You cannot afford to adopt an observer's stance on such a vital issue for your future and the future of our planet. Indeed you have a tremendous potential as catalysts for change - the leaders of tomorrow as well as major stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity. | Because the Convention on Biological Diversity is your convention and your passport for tomorrow's healthy environment, I call on you to be fully engaged in its implementation at a time when the Parties are actively embarked in a new and exciting phase aimed at translating its objective into the day-to-day reality of our global village. The battle to protect life on Earth is yours, and the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity that I am honoured to head in the years to come will always be on your side as your partner and your faithful ally. Let's join forces to win this battle - that no one can afford to lose - and every living human being on planet Earth will be the winner. | |||
