Investors, regulators and consumers alike are asking for collective action to address triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. Hosted in mega-biodiverse country and putting people at the centre, the United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP16) in Colombia under the theme of Peace with Nature provides a unique opportunity to adopt a systems-view and for businesses to redefine their role in safeguarding nature while security economic prosperity. This session will bring together the Forum’s Community of Chief Sustainability Leaders to explore innovative approaches and best practices for integrating nature into corporate strategies, unlocking new opportunities for growth and embracing a nature-positive economy. On the agenda: • Discuss business imperative for nature: understanding the interdependence between nature, business resilience and long-term value creation. • Explore nature-positive strategies: learning and sharing with peers on practical frameworks and methodologies to assess, mitigate and reverse the impacts of business activities on biodiversity and ecosystems. • Identify metrics and measurement: implementing robust metrics and reporting mechanisms to track progress on nature-positive outcomes and enhance transparency.
