All participants can exchange experiences and gain practical insights to share inspiration on transformative actions to advance nature-positive companies and economies.

Session Description

Businesses play a critical role in delivering the Global Biodiversity Framework, and particularly Target 15, which calls on companies to assess, disclose, and reduce their biodiversity impacts and risks by 2030. This session offers a highly participatory and innovative fishbowl dialogue, creating an open and inclusive space for authentic exchange. At the center, UAE business leaders will share concrete experiences from the capacity building “Natural Capital for Business Decision Making” highlighting how they embed nature into strategy, finance, and governance. Surrounding them, participants from across the globe are invited to join the conversation, exchange insights, and collectively explore solutions to the challenges of implementation. By bridging local action with international trends, this dynamic session builds confidence, fosters peer learning, and inspires transformative business models that halt nature loss and regenerate ecosystems. Together, we shape the learning path towards nature-positive companies and economies.
