World Biodiversity Summit

With an aim to bridge biodiversity and climate, the World Biodiversity Summit was launched by World Climate Foundation in 2021. The Summit gathered public and private sector stakeholders from across the globe on the crucial topics of biodiversity loss and restoration and investing in nature-based solutions to set the world on a path to achieve the 2050 Vision for Biodiversity.

​

World Biodiversity Summit sets out to strengthen cross-sectoral collaboration and devise actionable methods on how to create the ambition loops necessary to accelerate finance for nature towards the required nature-based solutions. The inaugural Summit was successfully launched in three parts, culminating in a convening of high-level and influential stakeholders from diverse private and public sectors on the sidelines of COP26 in Glasgow, UK.

​

The Summit works closely with frameworks such as the Post-2020 Global Framework for Biodiversity and the Paris Agreement. It serves as a platform to mobilise action and bring together these goals at high-level summits such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2022 (COP27), the 77th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA77) and the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD COP15).
