Description and context

Given the interconnectedness between climate and the biosphere, there is an opportunity to tackle the two crises -climate change and nature loss- together, yet the responses to these two challenges are often implemented in isolation. Awareness of biodiversity values and climate as an accelerator of nature degradation is not currently adequately accounted for or reflected in market externalities.

As net zero and climate adaptation strategies are developed, preservation and effective use of nature needs to be at the heart of the solution. An ambitious Global Biodiversity Framework, one that effectively links the two global challenges, can play a role in scaling  private finance to address both climate and biodiversity.

Join us for a panel discussion to explore the role of private finance —and disclosure — in a nature-based transition.
