Description and context

For many, the Kunming-Montreal agreement is a turning point in the preservation of biodiversity and the restoration of natural ecosystems. COP15 was also an opportunity to mobilize a large number of stakeholders from the private sector to take part in the negotiation process, in particular during the first ever Finance and Biodiversity Day. 

Indeed, as a catalyst for economic activity, the financial sector and financial institutions have a key role to play in the effective implementation of the global framework for biodiversity. 

On March 15th, join us for an OFF meeting of the Sustainable Finance Summit where we will review the goals and targets adopted in Montreal last December and discuss the actions needed to align financial flows towards nature-based solutions that not only halt and reverse biodiversity loss, but also support a just and equitable ecological transition.
