Biodiversity + Business Live: Working Dialogues and Technical Sessions

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.

• 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
• Dedicated time to connect with technical leads from across the private sector, government, and NGOs

Your involvement 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.

The UK Business & Biodiversity Forum CIC aims to accelerate the mainstreaming of biodiversity in business operations and public decision making. We strive to raise awareness, catalyse partnerships, and promote sustainable resource use to achieve nature-positive outcomes.

We engage a diverse set of stakeholders, including businesses, government, subject matter experts, and media, to achieve our goals.

In exchange for reserving a place at this JNCC-supported briefing, we invite you to make a contribution that supports our charity partner, Flora & Fauna. Your support directly aids the nature conservation efforts and data-led research required to protect the diversity of life on Earth.
