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.

Reimagining Forests
- The Role of Regenerative Forestry in Biodiversity Restoration
Forests are crucial pillars of our ecosystem, hosting over 80% of terrestrial biodiversity and maintaining Earth's
ecological balance. They significantly influence climate, water cycles, food and energy security, and human
health.
This session will present innovative practices such as regenerative forestry and their potential to propel a
nature-positive economic transition, enhance ecosystem resilience, and facilitate the successful
implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework. Speakers will examine the role of financial mechanisms
in fostering regenerative forest management, a critical step towards achieving climate resilience and
biodiversity conservation. This session aims to formulate actionable strategies and initiatives for promoting
regenerative forestry as a part of the larger goal of biodiversity restoration.
