7th GLF Investment Case Symposium
How can we raise $200 billion a year for biodiversity and climate? From 21 October to 1 November 2024, global leaders gathered in Cali, Colombia, for the 2024 UN Biodiversity Conference (COP16), tackling critical issues like ecosystem protection, climate action, and food security. The 7th GLF Investment Case Symposium, the largest sustainable finance event in the Global South, explored how to fund these efforts, including the role of emerging tech like Artificial Intelligence (AI) in finding innovative solutions.
About this session
As the symposium draws to a close, the final plenary will focus on the need for a clear and actionable roadmap to achieve the goals of the Global Biodiversity Framework. This session will bring together experts to debate the critical priorities and the most effective solutions that should be included in this roadmap. Speakers will highlight the roles of various stakeholders, from financial institutions to policymakers, in driving the implementation of the roadmap. Special attention will be given to ensuring that local communities and Indigenous Peoples are not left behind in the push for biodiversity financing.
