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.

Industrial activities contribute 24% of global carbon emissions, making industrial decarbonisation a critical challenge. Reimagining the production cycle and redesigning the industrial landscape are essential. Scaling up Power-to-X, green hydrogen, or carbon capture are crucial to arrive at the net-zero future. This session presented innovative strategies for overcoming investment barriers and de-risking investments to fast-track financing these technologies.
