Negotiators meet in Montreal, Canada, 7-19 December, to finalise the deal, widely billed as the \u201cParis Agreement for nature\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But after four years of talks, the issue has failed to gain the attention of world leaders. First the coronavirus pandemic, then Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine and soaring inflation pushed nature conservation down the agenda.<\/p>\n<p>That is unlikely to change as China, which presides over the talks, hasn\u2019t invited political leaders to attend the conference. President Xi Jinping isn\u2019t expected to show up amid deteriorating relations with host Canada.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the plans go, we may not have the heads of state and government,<strong>\u201d <\/strong>Elizabeth Maruma Mrema, head of UN Biodiversity, told Climate Home News during an event at think tank Chatham House in London.<\/p>\n<p>But \u201cpressure from many quarters\u201d is building on China and Canada to reconsider, she added.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><label for=\"mce-EMAIL\">Want climate news in your inbox?

The detainees on both sides were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-us-canada-58916557\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allowed to return home in September 2021<\/a> but tensions remain high.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the Canadian government didn\u2019t address Climate Home\u2019s question on whether world leaders would be invited.<\/p>\n<h3>Eyes on Trudeau<\/h3>\n<p>Campaigners are urging Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau to gather leaders on the sidelines of the summit, regardless of what China decides.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trudeau cannot and should not allow a global political failure of these negotiations in his own watch and in his own country,\u201d Oscar Soria, Avaaz\u2019s campaign director, told Climate Home<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Right now, this conference is barely known in certain diplomatic circles and despite some isolated announcements in the last UN general assembly, the overall process is lacking momentum,\u201d he said. Without \u201cthe highest political attention,\u201d the summit risked being further overshadowed by the war in Ukraine and even the football World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiodiversity cannot be an afterthought, it cannot be a low-priority issues. Nature is the foundation of our economy, our food, and our survival,\u201d Brian O\u2019Donnell, director of the Campaign for Nature, told Climate Home.<\/p>\n<p>By attending Cop15, heads of state will \u201csignificantly improve the likelihood an ambitious global agreement can be reached,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Donnell also called on the UN secretary general Ant\u00f3nio Guterres to
