The pressure on the planet’s natural environment has soared in recent decades, and the impact is having catastrophic effects on nature and biodiversity. All businesses depend on nature and its services, and businesses are already starting to feel the impact of biodiversity loss.

      At COP16, governments will be bringing their national plans to the table of how they will contribute towards the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which sets out an ambitious pathway in reaching the goal of living in harmony with nature by 2050. Businesses have a critical role to play in contributing to these national plans, and the time is now for organizations to accelerate implementation and put nature at the heart of all they do.
