The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity has outlined a series of virtual events with the goal to engage businesses in biodiversity conversations and raise ambitions around the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. Touching on some of the most critical issues for the business community and the urgent need to revert the loss of biodiversity, these sessions will provide a space for corporate engagement, knowledge sharing, and identifying solutions to shared problems in the months leading up to COP15.
