Investing in Nature: Unlocking Resilience and Returns

29 Apr 2026
Main Stage
Resilience & Adaptation

More than half of global GDP depends on healthy ecosystems, yet nature continues to decline at a staggering rate, putting economic stability, climate progress and long-term prosperity at risk. With the business case for nature stronger than ever, companies and financial institutions need the tools and incentives to turn nature related risks into drivers of resilience, growth and value creation.

• What role can data, disclosure, and emerging frameworks play in closing this gap?
• What competitive advantages stand to be gained by companies that shift toward nature-positive business models?
