Nature and climate are two sides of the same coin. COP 27 and its biodiversity equivalent COP 15, play important roles in advancing policy responses to the climate and nature crises and providing clarity for the private sector on global goals and pathways for action. The business and financial world\u2019s race towards net-zero emissions will succeed if they race equally fast towards a nature-positive future \u2013 and a \u2018Paris-like framework\u2019 is pivotal for the public and private sectors to rally behind. The climate crisis cannot be stopped without addressing degradation and loss of nature and biodiversity. In this webinar, we sit down with Elizabeth Maruma Mrema, Executive Secretary of the CBD to learn about what the financial sector can expect from this \u2018Paris moment for nature\u2019, at COP 15 in December 2022 in Montreal, Canada under the Presidency of the People\u2019s Republic of China. We will also learn about actions taken by financial institutions to support the halting and reversing of nature loss, speaking with two financial institutions leading the \u2018Public Policy Advocacy\u2019 working group of the Finance for Biodiversity Foundation, and influencing an ambitious outcome of the COP 15 negotiations. As fundamental precautionary agents to the financial sector, we will hear from the Central Bank of Chile as well, and their pathway towards embedding nature in their fiduciary duty. The panel will reflect on the demands from and opportunities for the financial sector at COP 15, providing you with the information needed to take action in the run-up, during, and after this landmark event.<\/p>\n
