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.
Climate Investment Summit is a leading summit aimed at increasing investments in climate and green recovery - built on the experience of practitioners, best practice business models and cross-sector collaboration.
Addressing the climate crisis will require bold, comprehensive solutions, cross-sector collaboration and major private sector investment. The climate crisis is not coming – it’s already here. If we have any hope of saving our planet, we must accelerate our transition to a clean energy economy now. The Climate Investment Summit provides global leaders the opportunity to share knowledge and collaborate on developing the solutions necessary to tackle this crisis.

"The political response to the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic must reap the synergies between job creation and climate action. Huge amounts of money will be mobilised to boost our economies, and we must seize that as an opportunity to tip the scales from black to green. Institutional investors will play a key role in making the recovery a green one"

The Road to COP26 2021
“This year’s Climate Investment Summit is particularly important, as a milestone before COP26 where climate finance is one of the main topics.

With this we want to be a role model to the world.”
