Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will attend next month's U.N. biodiversity summit in Montreal, the country's environment minister said on Thursday - despite the event's official host China plan to send no invitations to world leaders.
At the nature summit, dubbed COP15, countries will try to agree a global deal to protect nature and wildlife, as species populations plummet and landscapes are degraded.
China, which holds the COP15 presidency, has not invited world leaders to the COP15 summit. It is taking place in Montreal on Dec. 7-19, after being postponed four times from its original 2020 date in China's city of Kunming.
