The 7th GLF Investment Case Symposium: A Roadmap to Finance the Biodiversity Gap
25 October | Museo La Tertulia, Cali, Columbia and online
The stakes are immense: losing biodiversity means losing essential ecosystem services, livelihoods, food security and climate regulation.
On 25 October, at the 7th GLF Investment Case Symposium alongside UN COP16, we explored how the world can reverse this trend and – most importantly – fund these efforts.
Join us for two days packed with plenaries, interactive and expert sessions, launches and more, and learn from leading scientists, activists, Indigenous leaders, financiers, youth and policymakers as we pave together a fairer world ahead of COP28.

On 17 September, join us for a hybrid conference to find out how Africa can navigate the future of three shifting landscapes: forests and savannas, drylands, and freshwater and oceans.
Join us for two days packed with plenaries, interactive and expert sessions, launches and more, and learn from leading scientists, activists, Indigenous leaders, financiers, youth and policymakers as we pave together a fairer world ahead of COP28.
