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.

Valuing Natural Capital: Creating Markets for Nature
The disconnect between actual investments and biodiversity goals presents a major barrier to tackling climate change and biodiversity loss.
How can we overcome this barrier by replicating proven carbon market models for nature?
What will make nature more attractive to investors?
How can we quantify and streamline natural capital to close the nature finance gap?
The session made a compelling business case for investing in nature, delivering strategies to redirect investments towards achieving the Paris Agreement and the targets of the Global Biodiversity Framework.
