A new key biodiversity platform for cross sectoral collaboration
For its inaugural launch, World Biodiversity Summit will help define what world leaders and the private sector in biodiversity and climate action need to do in the medium and long term to achieve sustainable development and hinder further biodiversity loss, focusing on partnerships and investment mechanisms as levers of progress. World Biodiversity Summit is a platform for responding to accelerating biodiversity loss, by using the Paris Agreement as a framework to learn from, promoting relevant solutions, innovations, and leadership networks, strengthening nature restoration and conservation. Nature-based solutions will be highlighted, from specificecosystems to global possibilities.

Transition Trends and Opportunities
- Accelerating Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Decarbonisation by 2050
Economies worldwide are facing the triple challenge of undergoing a fundamental energy transition, improving energy security and accelerating energy efficiency to prevent threatening effects of climate change. Accelerating clean energy deployment and building the necessary infrastructure is crucial to foster decarbonisation across sectors, such as transportation, buildings, and industry. With increasing electrification across sectors, improving energy efficiency is equally crucial as phasing out fossil fuels. What technologies are most promising to transform the US energy system and create resilient energy infrastructure? What will power the future energy system in the US and what policies and investment models will get the US there?
