A new key biodiversity platform for cross sectoral collaboration
For its inaugural launch, World Biodiversity Summit will help define what world leaders and the private sector in biodiversity and climate action need to do in the medium and long term to achieve sustainable development and hinder further biodiversity loss, focusing on partnerships and investment mechanisms as levers of progress. World Biodiversity Summit is a platform for responding to accelerating biodiversity loss, by using the Paris Agreement as a framework to learn from, promoting relevant solutions, innovations, and leadership networks, strengthening nature restoration and conservation. Nature-based solutions will be highlighted, from specificecosystems to global possibilities.
By establishing the World Climate Foundation as a commercial foundation, our aim is to create an organisation that will have systemic impact on the global transition to a low-carbon and clean economy through two distinct methods:
-
by developing and running environmental impact platforms in line with the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals
-
an international growth engine for new impact enterprises that can help transition businesses and markets in line with environmental stewardship
Accelerating Commitments into Action
The World Climate Foundation is an impact-oriented organisation that facilitates faster collaboration between government, business, finance and civil society to create resilient markets and solutions for a safe, clean and net-zero economy.
Through our global collaborative and large-scale network, we bring together key stakeholders to scale up ambition and accelerate the implementation of solutions that realise change. We do this through cross-sector dialogue, innovative partnerships, and investments in sustainable solutions.
