The Nature Hub @CWNYC2025
Tuesday 23rd September 2025
15:00 - 16:00 (EDT), New York City (US)
Amid weakening regulatory measures to safeguard our natural environments around the world, industry-led action by the private sector is becoming more important than ever. Informed by a growing body of research, tools, and data, with the aid of disclosure frameworks such as the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures’ recommendations, financial institutions, and companies are stepping up in big numbers to address nature-related impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities across their operations, supply chains, and portfolios.
The momentum in the private sector is moving the needle toward halting and reversing biodiversity loss, building climate resiliency, and ensuring sustainable water supplies for people and industry around the world. This interactive panel discussion will share emerging trends to transform the global economy to protect and restore nature and ecosystems, including insights from the largest investor-led engagement initiatives working toward this goal.
