娱乐英语新闻:Actor Edward Norton named UN goodwill ambassador of biodiversity

Executive secretary of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, Ahmed Djoghlat, lauded Norton for his devotion to biological conservation, but stressed the challenge posed by the uNPRecedented loss of biodiversity.

"We are reaching the tipping point where irreversible damage is going to be done and therefore we need an urgent call for action," Djoghlat said at the press conference.

The UN General Assembly is set to hold its first high-level session on biodiversity in September, gathering 192 heads of state. Norton said he hopes leaders will present "compelling examples" of solutions to biodiversity loss, in order for them to be translated into concrete government policies.
