Webinar: Biodiversity and the Private Sector

Nature and nature’s contributions to people are vital for human existence and well-being. Biodiversity – the diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems – is declining fast. Nature across most of the globe has been altered by human actions, with the majority of indicators of ecosystems and biodiversity showing rapid decline.

We need urgent and ambitious action to prevent a larger environmental crisis.

Join us on May 12, when we discuss the following questions, for example:

• What is the role of business in restoring biodiversity and what should companies do now?
• What kind of risks can biodiversity loss pose to companies?
• How can companies better understand and measure their impacts on nature?

This event is available and free of charge for members of UN Global Compact networks in Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.  The event will be recorded.

Speakers:

• Jussi Nikula, Conservation Advisor, WWF Finland
• Marina von Weissenberg, Senior Ministerial Adviser, Ministry of the Environment of Finland
• Ville Uusitalo, Associate Professor, LUT University
