Biodiversity Basics webinar
10 June 2025, 14:00-15:00 CEST | webinar
Biodiversity underpins the ecosystems that support all life on Earth—including the economy. Yet, according to the IPBES Global Assessment on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, nature is declining at rates unprecedented in human history, with over one million species threatened with extinction.
This poses not only an ecological crisis but also a systemic risk to business. As regulatory frameworks evolve and public expectations shift, companies must understand their dependencies and impacts on biodiversity—and act accordingly.
The Biodiversity Basics webinar is organised by the European Business & Biodiversity Platform, and will help your organization navigate this landscape by introducing the foundational concepts of biodiversity in a business context. We’ll connect global scientific findings with actionable steps companies can take to reduce risks, meet new regulatory requirements, and contribute to a nature-positive economy.
Key Topics:
-
Why biodiversity is a material issue for business
-
What the latest science, including IPBES assessments, tells us about ecological risk
-
How businesses can respond with transformative, forward-looking strategies
-
What to expect from emerging policy aligned with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and COP16
