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
Upcoming Activities and Roadmap for 2022
In 2022 we are launching three new global networks for climate, biodiversity and biosecurity.
Here, stakeholders can collectively identify and accelerate solutions towards these intertwined environmental challenges. By applying our proven methodology in enhancing cross-sector implementation of markets, technologies and policies, we aim to help solve these challenges through action-oriented coalitions, major summits, thought leadership forums and transition pathways.
Climate
World Climate Network brings
together a long-standing group of influential high-level decision makers from across government, business, finance, and civil society. It is driven by real action in the form of breakthrough innovations, impactful policies, and sustainable investments. Our climate network focuses on the implementation of the Paris Agreement and a swift transition to the green economy.
Biodiversity
World Biodiversity Network is the
first global public-private partnership to address the urgent need for biodiversity restoration through nature-based solutions. The network convenes key stakeholders to tackle biodiversity loss, promote nature conservation and provide ambition and action into the work of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
Biosecurity
Global Biosecurity Network will leverage experience from cross-sector collaboration to create resilient societies, thereby safeguarding against future pandemics. The aim is to learn
from the latest research and developments on COVID-19
while collaborating on a broad
set of solutions to prevent
pandemic threats.
Coalitions & Partnerships
Our Coalitions and partnerships increase cross-sector collaboration among high-level decision makers and support enabling frameworks while tracking commitments and action. Our investment coalition acts as a primary force in mobilising financial pledges towards green investments, whereas our innovation coalition will aim to highlight the trends in technology and business models that will drive resilient and net-zero markets. Our policy work is taking shape, stressing the need for new ambitious policy frameworks and standards aligning public and private actors towards new sustainable markets.
Global Summits
Our annual Global Summits on climate, biodiversity and biosecurity bring opportunities for collaboration that cannot be missed. They provide international cross-sector dialogue on creating sustainable markets, partnerships on solutions and new investment opportunities. The Summits bring together key ideas and stakeholders, galvanising hearts and minds in helping shape the transition to a net-zero, nature positive and biosecure world.
