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.

Jump-Starting a Green Hydrogen Economy
- Tackling Hard-to-Abate Sector Decarbonisation
Hard-to-abate industries contribute 1/3 of the world's annual CO2 emissions, largely due to their energy-intense production processes. To progress the decarbonisation of sectors, such as cement, chemicals, building supplies, iron, and steel, it requires ground-breaking innovative technologies and cost-effective solutions. Renewable electricity readiness and emerging solutions such as green hydrogen and Power-to-X are essential to green the energy mix. This session explored best practices across the US energy landscape in emerging technologies to drive the clean energy transition and forward-thinking policies and investments for the energy sector to become net-zero by 2050. To what extent will the IRA play a significant role in a clean energy transition and the development of a green hydrogen economy?
