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
Science is a key ingredient in ensuring the implementation of Target 19 of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), specifically with evidence-based quality investments in nature-based solutions (NbS). While the relationship between science and business has been evolving, there is still a need to improve dialogue between the two fields to create synergies with substantive impact.
