This combined webinar and masterclass event is taking place on Wednesday 18 October from 1pm to 2.45pm BST. It will help businesses to embed biodiversity into sustainability strategies in ways that protect ecosystems, reverse nature loss and increase resilience. Tune in to hear advice from experts at Holcim, Brita, NatureMetrics and the Capitals Coalition.
We are reaching a crucial tipping point for nature. Amidst a perfect storm of mass urbanisation, unsustainable exploitation of natural resources and escalating climate change, businesses must radically re-think the way we use our land and oceans, and how we produce energy, food and other resources.
The solutions are already available and many businesses are already taking action – whether its through the adoption of nature-based solutions, investing in ecosystem restoration, or scaling up nature-positive products and technologies.
Supported by real-life case studies and practical insights, this edie webinar and masterclass brings together a selection of sustainability, CSR and environmental experts to break down how organisations large and small can re-think business models, enhance biodiversity and ultimately become nature-positive.
The session is broken into two parts: a 60-minute, Q&A-style webinar exploring what true business leadership in the context of nature and biodiversity; and a 45-minute masterclass.
Those who register will have access to a recorded copy of both parts on-demand once the event has concluded. Scroll down for a full agenda.
