The objectives of the Summit, he recalled, are to promote scientific and technical cooperation, strengthen capacities, and increase influence in multilateral forums for environmental advocacy; establish effective global governance to manage environmental and climate challenges on a planetary scale; and develop a common strategy to stimulate investment projects aimed at combating climate change and preserving biodiversity.
