Nature loss and climate change pose systemic risks to economies, food systems, and financial stability worldwide. Addressing these risks requires scaling up investment in natural infrastructure, sustainable farming, and nature-positive business models. This panel brings together leaders from finance, agriculture, science, and civil society to discuss how the financial sector can help halt nature loss, restore ecosystems, and scale up investment in sustainable practices. We will explore concrete pathways for banks, farmers, and businesses to align with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and deliver nature-positive impact.​
