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.

Ian Brettell
Policy Director, Crowther Labs and SEED
With a background in law and genetics, Dr Ian Brettell has joined the Crowther Lab at ETH Zurich to help translate the lab's global-scale ecological research into real-world outcomes through policy mechanisms. His current focus is the SEED Biocomplexity Index: an initiative of the lab to create the most holistic and high-resolution measure of the state of nature as it changes through time, for every terrestrial pixel on the planet. Together with the Restor platform, SEED is designed to accelerate restoration and conservation of biodiversity for nature, climate and people, aiming to facilitate the regeneration of ecosystems and the equitable distribution of capital to local communities worldwide.
