Nature is indispensable but underfunded. Find out how we are addressing this through smart collaborations and conclude with the inspiring film screening of Wilding.
What to expect?
While the topic of climate finance is already well established, biodiversity finance is still lagging behind. Yet, a wide range of financial instruments already exist in this context.
After this event, you will go home with new insights about:
What financial instruments exist (such as impact investing and green bonds)
How a smart mix of philanthropic, public and private capital can strengthen public resources
ongoing, (inter)national policy initiatives to better and structurally fund biodiversity
How investors and financial institutions integrate biodiversity into their investment decisions

Biodiversity is disappearing, and you can feel it: higher risks, scarce resources, less resilience. More and more Belgian companies are turning the tide by investing in nature to avoid loss and create value. In this community of practice, you will work with fellow companies and biodiversity experts to put biodiversity on your corporate agenda – right at the heart of your activities – and build a strategy that drives real, structured progress.
What if biodiversity is the key to economic stability and innovation? Carmeuse, producer of lime and construction materials, shows us how small steps lead to ambitious projects.
