About this Event
Nature loss is now a material business risk – and a strategic opportunity.
As expectations from investors, governments and markets rapidly evolve, the ability of senior leaders to integrate nature into core business strategy is becoming a defining feature of competitive and resilient companies.
This Forum brings together UK business leaders, Ministers and experts to move from ambition to action.
What to expect
- An update on the progress made since our IPBES Manchester Working Dialogues
- Collaborative working sessions to identify specific, high-priority actions for each Working Dialogue group
- Strategic mapping of next steps to ensure business actions are fully aligned with the IPBES Business & Biodiversity Assessment and Global Biodiversity Framework targets
- A keynote session led by Defra exploring business reflections on the global report as we look toward CBD COP17

Your leadership can help shape a strong UK business voice on nature – at a critical global moment.
Business + Biodiversity Live is co-hosted by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), the UK Business & Biodiversity Forum (UKBBF) and NatureScot.
