On 3-4 October 2024, the Royal Society will host a conference chaired by Sir Partha Dasgupta FRS, to bring together scientists and businesses to discuss how trends in environmental decline are leading to new risks to business models and investments. The proceedings will help business leaders to understand the latest science on the ways in which the natural world is changing, the risks their businesses face as a result, and actions that will help mitigate those risks.
The conference will convene key stakeholders from science, commodity supply chain businesses, and financial services to build on the findings of the Dasgupta Review and global initiatives such as the Global Biodiversity Framework, the Nature Positive Initiative, and the Taskforce on Nature-Related Financial Disclosures amongst others. A major focus will be on the challenge of measuring nature and ensuring businesses have the information they need to develop and implement a strategy to both reduce their nature-related risks and make the most of investment opportunities.
The discussions should help identify shared research priorities, promote collaboration, and identify consensus policy recommendations to protect nature.
The full programme and booking details are available on the Royal Society website.
