Aligning Leaders Across
Sectors to Support the Adoption of a
New Global Biodiversity
Framework | |
On 11 December, World
Biodiversity Summit will convene again in Montreal
for the final part of this year’s summit
series. The Summit will continue the
dialogue we started in New York and Sharm
el-Sheikh, and takes place alongside the most
decisive event of all for our natural world, as
decision-makers finalise the new Global
Biodiversity Framework at UNCBD
COP15. | |
At this critical moment
for nature, it is important that all
stakeholders are on board, from leaders within
business and finance, to key government
decision-makers and influential civil society
organisations. It is crucial that all are aligned
in their ambitions to work towards adopting
a new Global
Biodiversity Framework.
World Biodiversity
Summit takes place in the middle of the
UNCBD COP15 and the sessions at the Summit
address the most crucial issues in
biodiversity. They are tailored for a
cross-sector discussion of the key
elements in the new Framework and adopt a
forward-looking and action-oriented focus,
providing a platform for experts to offer
recommendations to the Framework based on the
industry insights and examples of best practice
they can share.
Doing so can contribute to
the development of a Framework that is viable
yet ambitious and that offers
opportunities to all pertinent stakeholders.

Regenerative
Agriculture:
Building
Resilience Across the Value
Chain A
transition towards resilient and nature-positive
food systems is fundamental to reducing pressure
on biodiversity and ensuring food security.
Considering nature-based solutions, finance and
regenerative agriculture practices, how can we
stimulate this transition? This panel session will
gather experts, policymakers, innovators and
investors to tackle how to stimulate resilient
food production and security to support global
biodiversity. |

Biodiversity
Solutions for All: Towards an
Inclusive Nature-Positive
Future Ensuring
that nature-positive solutions to the biodiversity
crisis include and benefit all relevant
stakeholders globally is not just a matter of
justice, but also a matter of ensuring the
sustainability, resilience and effectiveness of
such solutions. In this session, selected speakers
representing diverse stakeholders will outline why
the inclusion of local peoples and indigenous
communities in biodiversity decision-making is
integral to ensuring the success of the new Global
Biodiversity
Framework.

From Linear to Circular:
Innovating Our Economy for a Nature-Positive
Future Shifting to a circular
economy has enormous potential when it comes to
tackling biodiversity loss. However, shifting the
cradle-to-grave model into cradle-to-cradle
requires a major rethink on a societal level. This
session will adopt a future-oriented focus, as
panellists will discuss how we can catalyse the
necessary transition to circularity and offer
their insights to the innovations that will drive
the circular economy of the
future. |

From Commitment to
Implementation: Actionable Leadership for
Nature The Post-2020 Global
Biodiversity Framework has the potential to be a
turning point for the protection of nature
and in the fight against biodiversity loss.
However, meeting the long-term vision of
‘living in harmony with nature by 2050’ will
require strong leadership in the short term in
order to translate the new targets into action. In
this closing panel, key stakeholders will reflect
on the Framework under negotiation of COP15, and
the role that different sectors will need to play
to build a nature-positive
future. | |
