Meet the speakers

 

By disrupting business-as-usual, business and finance can invest in a new nature economy, reap long-term benefits and reduce their underlying risks associated with nature loss. Join a power panel of CEOs demonstrating their momentum and policy ambition for nature: transforming nature-destructive industries into nature-positive ones. Over 90 minutes, learn more about how business and finance action can be accelerated through collective action via the “Nature is Everyone’s business” Call to Action and the Finance for Biodiversity Pledge that encourage world leaders and financial institutions to strive for an ambitious Post-2020-Biodiversity Framework.

This session will take place on 25 September 2020, 9:00-10:30 AM (EDT). The event will be broadcast live on this page.
