Tipping Point: From Local Protection to the Global Governance of Biodiversity is a short documentary film in French (with English subtitles) exploring the involvement of local governments (cities and regions) and civil society organizations in the global governance of biodiversity. The film focuses on their participation at COP15, the United Nations Biodiversity Conference held in Montreal in December 2022, where a historic international agreement — the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework — was adopted, committing to protect 30% of the planet’s land and waters by 2030. The documentary contends that as our planetary systems edge dangerously toward a tipping point of ecological collapse, collective action by stakeholders across every level of governance and sector of society holds the power to trigger a political tipping point — one that could reignite global momentum for bold, transformative environmental action.
