Join us on 24 September 2026 at 10:00 CEST for the Biodiversity Basics webinar.

When it comes to our impact and dependencies on biodiversity, business as usual is no longer acceptable nor desirable. The Biodiversity Basics webinars aims to get your business up to speed with the fundamentals of the business world’s relationship with biodiversity and everything you need to know to start building a nature positive future. Join us to understand how the latest trends and regulatory requirements in this space can be used as a positive driving force for your business!

Date:  08/09/2026

Biodiversity is essential for the processes that support all life on Earth. It is critical to our well-being and livelihoods, and its dramatic decline currently poses a serious systemic risk to our economy. Ahead of COP17, 2026 marks a critical year for biodiversity as businesses increasingly align with global biodiversity goals and take action to improve their relationship with nature.

However, many businesses are not fully aware of the extent to which they depend on biodiversity and ecosystems, or of the impact they have on them. Nor are they always able to anticipate the newcoming regulatory approaches and the material risks or opportunities that they may entail.

The Biodiversity Basics webinar, to be held on 24 September 2026 from 10:00-11:00 CEST will help organisations get up to speed with the fundamentals of biodiversity for business and the policy landscape by showcasing actionable changes to preserve biodiversity and restore natural capital and encouraging transformative action to future-proof businesses.

Register for the webinar here. If you are unable to join this time, keep an eye out on our website and in upcoming newsletters for more information on the next Biodiversity Basics webinar, which are held regularly throughout the year.
