World Biodiversity Summit 2025

World Biodiversity Summit is returning for its 5th edition on 25 September 2025 on the sidelines of Climate Week NYC.

Last year, the programme pioneered global public-private partnerships to address the urgent need for biodiversity restoration through nature-based solutions and nature-positive investments, bridging the climate and biodiversity agendas. 

To foster harmony with nature and effectively enact the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, last year’s summit took stock of the implementation of its target and explored the synergies between climate and biodiversity, fostering cross-agenda collaboration and actionable implementation strategies.

World Biodiversity Summit engages businesses, governments, civil society and financial institutions to bolster support for nature and mitigate climate and biodiversity risks while amplifying business opportunities on a larger scale.
