Mapping business contributions to nature-positive value chains

Why attend
Join this collective action workshop to align our expectations for business concerning "nature positive", and identify complementary and reinforcing strategies for conservation organisations to accelerate the journey of companies towards more sustainable business practices.
HideDescription
Nature positive is emerging as a global goal for nature. What does this mean for individual businesses? WBCSD, in collaboration with other stakeholders, have developed several “building blocks” to credibly and coherently frame business contributions to nature-positive along value-chains. During this workshop, participants will firstly hear more about the work and then hear how nature-positive can guide action across three different value-chain systems that are critical for development and with significant impacts and/or dependencies on nature: energy and extractives, built environment and infrastructure, and agriculture.
