Description: This session aims to highlight collaborative actions across all levels of the system for a nature-positive world by 2030: from landscapes, seascapes and watersheds to national and global levels; and from operational sites, to corporate and into value-chains.
Aimed at business practitioners, policymakers and organizations and networks that work with business, we will share inspirational stories from around the world of how business, government and other stakeholders have come together to transform key sectors including agriculture, built environment and energy systems, highlighting the enabling corporate and government policies and strategies required. Participants will then have the chance to interact directly with the presenters through small group discussions, leaving the session inspired to replicate similar multi-stakeholder collaborations in their respective regions.
