High-level dialogue on business input to the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework

The aim of this session is to inspire businesses, policymakers and conservation organizations on what is needed for the post-2020 global biodiversity framework to accelerate business action with positive outcomes for nature. The session will discuss the reflections and suggestions from BfN and its partners to improve GBF draft 1. We will explore how policymakers can provide a supportive enabling environment for business that will help delivering positive outcomes for nature and people. Opening remarks will be provided by both Eva Zabey (Executive Director, Business for Nature) and Basile le Havre (Co-Chair of the CBD-OEWG). Two business representatives (from Danone/OP2B and Holcim) will share examples of inspiring commitments and actions and provide suggestions how to strengthen the draft Global Biodiversity Framework. Furthermore, reflections will be shared by a government representative, Jonny Hughes (WCMC) and Martin Lok (Capitals Coalition).
