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.

To reach a net-zero economy by 2050, annual clean energy investments must increase from $1 trillion to $3.5 trillion by 2030. However, market challenges such as volatility, high inflation, energy crises and geopolitical tensions pose increasing risks for investors. Despite these challenges, investing in clean energy solutions and related technologies offers global investors opportunities to build future -proof portfolios. This session collected key recommendations on how investors can build resilient portfolios and governments can establish effective regulatory frameworks to accelerate the green energy transition and reach 2030 targets.
