A1: Interactive panel

Deadline 2030

To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, we will need to make significant changes in how we take nature into account, bearing in mind that we all have different views, based on our specific priorities, assumptions and challenges. Solutions are emerging in business, finance, government and conservation which could help us to make progress where it matters most.

High-level representatives from different parts of society will share their vision for taking nature into account, and what they believe will need to happen to make it a reality. What context are they considering – a site, a business, a country, the planet? How much convergence will there be? What will competition and collaboration look like?
