Earth Room

The 2024 edition of the annual Nature Positive dinner marks a year after the adoption of the nature positive goal of “halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030” in the mission of the Global Biodiversity Framework that was dubbed as the “Paris moment for nature”.

This dinner will focus on the implementation and discusses how this can be delivered with demonstrable and genuine nature-positive outcomes ensuring links with climate, food, water and other key societal challenges. An opportunity to hear from companies and financial institutions who have adopted nature-positive strategies and discuss successes and challenges in implementation, at a time when the new nature-positive ambition is being embraced by an ever-growing list of companies, financial institutions, governments and civil society.
