A new key biodiversity platform for cross sectoral collaboration
For its inaugural launch, World Biodiversity Summit will help define what world leaders and the private sector in biodiversity and climate action need to do in the medium and long term to achieve sustainable development and hinder further biodiversity loss, focusing on partnerships and investment mechanisms as levers of progress. World Biodiversity Summit is a platform for responding to accelerating biodiversity loss, by using the Paris Agreement as a framework to learn from, promoting relevant solutions, innovations, and leadership networks, strengthening nature restoration and conservation. Nature-based solutions will be highlighted, from specificecosystems to global possibilities.

Defining Solutions for Biorisk Challenges in Our Health Systems
Global Biosecurity Summit has been established as a response to the the existing shortfalls in preparedness, coordination and mobilisation of resources to tackle COVID-19 and other emerging biorisk challenges. The pandemic has proven that despite a more-than-ever globalised world and an unprecedented level of cooperation on global issues, the risk of pandemics and potential consequences have been severely neglected and will prove an even larger challenge in the future if not properly tackled.
Global Biosecurity Summit aims to provide a crucial stakeholder engagement and networking platform for high-level announcements, thought leadership and best practices to create more awareness and address the lack of collaborative biorisk-specific solutions to create resilient health systems while following the One Health approach and strategies on a global level.
World Climate Foundation
The initiative is currently incubated at the World Climate Foundation. The World Climate Foundation has 10 years of experience in facilitating large-scale collaboration between businesses, governments, financial institutions and civil society on formulating and designing markets and solutions for a clean and net-zero economy. In recent years the World Climate Foundation has expanded its operations to the biodiversity and biosecurity spheres.
