“Contributions to the Nature Positive Agenda in Latin America: Role of the private sector” – IUCN
Tuesday 29 October, 12.30pm – 2.00pm
IUCN Pavilion
Achieving the goals of the Global Biodiversity Framework will require the significant involvement of the private sector, both at global and regional levels. Particularly in Latin America, where there are a multitude of biodiversity hotspots in need of conservation and protection, combined with important economic development pressures, the proactive engagement of the private sector to conserve and restore species, habitats and ecosystems, while creating economic value for communities, is essential. Many companies in the region have already taken action to integrate nature and people more directly in their business strategies and operations, and they are looking for ways to contribute meaningfully to the GBF and the nature positive agenda. This session will present the solutions and practices being put in place by companies in Latin America, as well as highlight the challenges that still remain to further mainstream and enable more nature positive action by companies that can be beneficial for nature and people.
The panel:
- Paloma Munoz, Director, Human Rights Standards, BSR (moderator)
- Gabriel Quijandria, Regional Director for South America, IUCN
- Marina Negrisoli, Sustainability Director, Suzano
- Leticia Guimaraes, Head of Biodiversity, Vale
- Dr Matt Cranford, Executive Director, Pollination
