Nature Is the Infrastructure of Resilience: Using Nature Data to Support Corporate and Government Climate Action

Two Manhattan West (9th Avenue and 31st Street), New York, US

Wednesday 23rd September 2026
14:25 - 16:25 (EDT)

​This plenary session presents two critical discussions:

From Risk to Resilience: Using Nature Intelligence to Guide Investment

​2:25-3:20 PM – Hosted by Audubon and Satelligence

​As companies and governments navigate climate change, nature loss, and supply chain disruptions, advanced nature intelligence is transforming how leaders evaluate risk and opportunity. This session explores how to leverage nature intelligence as a strategic tool for commercial resilience, supply security, and long-term growth. Convening leaders across conservation, technology, and business, the discussion showcases real-world projects that treat nature as critical infrastructure – from cities to global supply chains. Panelists will share insights on translating environmental risk data into capital decisions that strengthen agricultural landscapes, secure production, and deliver measurable, nature-positive outcomes. Join us to learn how better data directs capital, action, and accountability toward the landscapes that matter most.

Freshwater at the Heart of Climate Action: From Planetary Boundaries to Corporate Leadership

​3:30- 4:25 PM – ​Hosted by Conservation International and the Arbor Day Foundation

​This event will spotlight freshwater restoration as a critical, practical, and under-recognized pathway for delivering climate mitigation, adaptation, biodiversity, and business resilience outcomes. The discussion will connect the global science of planetary boundaries with emerging evidence on the climate benefits of freshwater restoration and the growing role of companies in setting science-based freshwater targets and investing in basin-level action.
