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.

Monitor, Assess and Disclose: Aligning Supply Chains with Global Biodiversity Targets
Target 15 urges businesses to assess and disclose their biodiversity-related risks and impacts, extending to their supply chains.

This session convened industry leaders and innovators at the forefront of integrating environmental sustainability into supply chain management. Attendees gained key insights from pioneering strategies and practices that advance the objectives of Target 15.
