HOST: Aviva
VENUE: Business and Finance (B&F) Hub, Blue Zone – Yerevan, Armenia
FORMAT: Silent conference
DESCRIPTION
This session focuses on the delivery challenge for the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework: how to move from commitments to the conditions that allow private finance to flow at scale. It will also cover insurer and investor perspectives on the “art of the possible”, showing how insurers can use nature-related insights to support adaptation and resilience, and how investors can integrate nature-related issues into investment decision-making, stewardship and capital allocation to support the transition to a nature positive economy.
OBJECTIVES & DESIRED OUTCOMES
- Showcase actions and initiatives that are already underway across the wider private sector, bringing together banking and corporate nature solutions perspectives to highlight emerging practice and scalable opportunities.
- Use the “Canopy Conversation ” to move from what is possible now to what could be unlocked in the future, by identifying the enabling conditions needed at COP17 to scale private finance for nature-positive outcomes, showcasing Aviva ’s latest COP17 and COP 31 paper.
