In August 2016, Resolution 40-3, the Resolution on Ecological Connectivity, Adaptation to Climate Change, and Biodiversity Conservation was adopted at the 40th Annual Conference of New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers. The Resolution recognizes the importance of ecological connectivity for the adaptability and resilience of ecosystems, biodiversity and human communities in the face of climate change. It also stresses the importance of working across borders to advance efforts to conserve and restore ecological connectivity. Elements addressed in the Resolution include conservation, land use planning, natural resource management and transport infrastructure planning. The implementation of this Resolution is ensured by a working group co-chaired by the governments of Québec and Vermont. From now until 2020, the working group will focus its activities on promoting the implementation of solid actions related to ecological connectivity.
