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.

Making Global Progress on the Energy Transition
- Together Towards a Net-Zero Future
The global energy landscape is rapidly changing while the pressure to phase out fossil fuels is increasing with rising temperatures globally. Moving decarbonisation efforts forward will only be possible with a concerted effort. This session focused on how governments and businesses can team up to tackle the triple challenge. What can we expect from this year´s climate negotiations at COP28 and how can businesses join forces in “coalitions of the ambitious” to make sure there is significant advancement to achieve global climate goals? How is North America manifesting its leadership role in the long term?
