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.

World Biodiversity Summit - Part 3
Taking place on 11 December 2022, World Biodiversity Summit was the pioneering event that brought together leaders from the public and private sectors with the aim of the tackling one of the biggest crises facing our planet today – biodiversity loss.
The summit was the third part of this year’s summit series, held alongside the key international events shaping the global biodiversity agenda. In 2022, we started the conversations with our summits in New York and Sharm el-Sheikh alongside New York Climate Week and UNFCCC COP27 respectively. For the final stop of 2022's journey, we gathered again in Montreal alongside the UNCBD COP15 – a COP that is a decisive moment for our natural world as negotiators finalise the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.
In order for the the goals of the new Framework to be met, it is important that all sectors are on board - from business, industry, and finance to government and civil society. In bringing together sector leaders, World Biodiversity Summit facilitated the necessary cross-sector dialogue in solutions-oriented discussions about the most pressing issues in global biodiversity. The summit series adopted an action-based and forward-looking approach, showcasing examples of best practice and innovation, and serving as a catalyst for new partnerships and bold investments.
World Biodiversity Summit - Part 3 in Montreal featured an engaging lineup of panel discussions, fireside chats and keynote speeches.
The themes addressed were those most pertinent to addressing the crisis, and to meeting the goals of the new framework. They included regenerative agriculture, inclusive approaches to biodiversity solutions, the circular economy, and the role of business and finance in closing the biodiversity financing gap.
