European Business & Biodiversity Forum

The event will feature keynotes on global and regulatory biodiversity challenges, workshops with pioneer companies, and networking opportunities. 

Key issues that the event will shed light on: 

• the international context: the key role of businesses in the new post-European elections landscape, and at the upcoming UN biodiversity conference, COP 16
• the regulatory context : an analysis of the main asks of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) on nature topics, and best ways to address them
• the urgency of ambitious commitments and action by companies on biodiversity: latest progress from Science Based Targets for Nature (SBTN), and testimonies of the first companies to have set SBTN
• the key role of financial institutions in driving corporate action: examples of financial institutions deploying Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and other initiatives
• the importance of building robust transition plans for nature, covering technical, operational aspects (impacts, risks, objectives, etc.), but also organizational and financial aspects (key learnings from the new WWF publication on Nature Transition plans)

Special sessions for WWF Corporate Partners on September 20th will delve deeper into joint advocacy and strategic approaches.
