    Net Zero Nature

    Powered by BusinessGreen & part of the Net Zero Festival

    Net Zero Nature took place live on 27 May 2021, but you can still catch up on demand!
    Our jam-packed agenda explored the vital role of nature in the net zero transition and how businesses and investors can simultaneously work to halt the escalating climate and biodiversity crises. Government ministers, award winning economists, inspirational campaigners and academics, and representatives of some of the world's largest and most successful companies all featured throughout the day.

    About the 2021 Event

    Planet Earth’s natural resources are being degraded and lost at an unprecedented rate. More than just a tragedy for humankind, it’s now a very serious challenge to economic survival.
    All businesses of every size, sector and type rely upon nature - though many have yet to realise the extent to which they do - and will be deeply affected by its continued and accelerating loss. Nature provides many options to help achieve the ambitious decarbonisation goals set by the Paris Agreement, but they are goals society simply cannot meet without a fundamental reform of our relationship with nature.

    Net Zero Nature brings together global experts, business leaders, NGO’s and innovators to explore why protecting and restoring nature is fundamental to global economic prosperity, investigate the transformative changes businesses must make now to avoid extinction, and consider best practices and latest developments.
