Did COP15 Deliver a Paris Moment for Biodiversity? What’s Next for Companies?
Date/Time: January 19, 2023 (12-1PM ET / 9-10AM PT)
Join us for a conversation on COP15 to discuss what biodiversity negotiators achieved in Montreal and which solutions are urgently needed to help halt and reverse biodiversity loss.
According to the UN Environment Programme, climate change is among the top five causes of biodiversity loss, alongside changes in land and sea use, pollution, resource extraction and the spread of invasive species. As such, we will explore how the biodiversity and climate crises reinforce each other and how their interconnection must inform the solutions we can advance to address them together.
In this webinar, biodiversity experts from academia and business will reflect on COP15’s outcomes and discuss:
- How companies can support global biodiversity goals
- What we can learn from climate action to replicate and improve for nature
- How companies can set measurable targets for nature, and assess and report their progress
