Implementing the Biodiversity Plan: Corporate Action on Nature Loss
See you soon!
About the Event
To realize the Biodiversity Plan, the private sector must take urgent action to reduce their negative impacts on nature and redirect financial flows away from economic activities that negatively impact nature, which were estimated to be at least $5 trillion in 2022.
Nature Action 100 is a global investor-led engagement initiative that aims to support greater corporate ambition and action on reversing nature and biodiversity loss to mitigate financial risk and protect the long-term economic interests of investors’ clients and beneficiaries. Investors participating in the initiative engage companies in key sectors to achieve this goal by 2030. The initiative’s goals complement the Biodiversity Plan, and specifically Target 15, by encouraging private sector actions to protect and restore nature and seeking to catalyze these actions via investor-company engagements.
As the world gathers to discuss accelerating the implementation of the Biodiversity Plan at COP16, Nature Action 100 will release the results of the initiative’s first benchmark assessment of 100 companies in key sectors toward achieving the initiative’s Investor Expectations of Companies. The partners of Nature Action 100, along with the financial institutions that supported the benchmark development and outside experts, will discuss where companies stand in their nature action and disclosure, and highlight opportunities for companies to accelerate their nature transition.
Speakers include:
This in-person event will offer valuable insights into what steps investors and companies are taking to help meet Target 15 and how Nature Action 100 is helping to drive greater ambition on reducing nature and biodiversity loss. No livestream will be available.
