Uniting for Impact: Innovative Solutions for Climate and Nature

maria_s.webp

There is no easy answer, no silver bullet. We need to start reflecting on how we change the way we live, because replacing fossil fuels means changing the way we live, not only changing the technology.

María Susana Muhamad González, Former Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development, Government of Colombia 

Introducing World Climate and Biodiversity Summit

The World Climate and Biodiversity Summit returns to New York on 25 September 2025 for its 5th edition, taking place on the sidelines of Climate Week NYC and the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly.  

Climate change and biodiversity loss are deeply connected - and addressing them demands a unified response. In 2025, we are merging World Climate Summit and World Biodiversity Summit into a single platform for action: World Climate and Biodiversity Summit.  

Grounded in the principles of the Rio Conventions – UNFCCC, UNCBD and UNCCD – the Summit brings together leaders from business, government, finance, academia and civil society to advance holistic solutions that address both climate and nature, as well as support the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the Paris Agreement. 

Through this integrated approach, we will bridge together climate and nature agendas across policy, finance and business strategies, and catalyse cross-sector collaboration to accelerate action and impact ahead of UNFCCC COP30 and beyond.  

Join us in New York to accelerate the transition toward a nature-positive, net-zero future — together.
