A new key biodiversity platform for cross sectoral collaboration
For its inaugural launch, World Biodiversity Summit will help define what world leaders and the private sector in biodiversity and climate action need to do in the medium and long term to achieve sustainable development and hinder further biodiversity loss, focusing on partnerships and investment mechanisms as levers of progress. World Biodiversity Summit is a platform for responding to accelerating biodiversity loss, by using the Paris Agreement as a framework to learn from, promoting relevant solutions, innovations, and leadership networks, strengthening nature restoration and conservation. Nature-based solutions will be highlighted, from specificecosystems to global possibilities.

Making Peace with Nature: Integrating Business and Finance into the Equation
How do business and finance fit into the Global Biodiversity Framework? How can they contribute to its implementation? Under the COP16 theme 'Peace with Nature', we are exploring the role of business and financial institutions in achieving global biodiversity goals and turning them into tangible and actionable plans. Looking ahead to COP29, we will analyse the broader context of climate and biodiversity, recognising COP29's emphasis on finance as a catalyst for environmental action to foster tangible actions and outcomes.
