The latest report from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research reveals that Earth has breached seven of its nine #PlanetaryBoundaries. These findings underscore the interconnectedness of our planet's life-support systems, from climate change to biosphere integrity, and the urgent need for collective action to restore balance. This message was strongly echoed in the opening session of World Biodiversity Summit: "Nature and Climate: Two Sides of the Same Coin." The session focused on the interconnectedness of the #CarbonCycle, #ClimateChange, and #Biodiversity, highlighting nature's essential role as a primary carbon reservoir and sink. Using the #PlanetaryBoundariesFramework, it underscored why nature and climate must be seen as inseparable issues. Discussions emphasised the importance of integrating climate adaptation into biodiversity conservation plans to create a #NaturePositive, #CarbonNeutral future.

On the 25th of September at World Climate Summit, during #ClimateWeekNYC and the 79th #UNGA, we gathered about 500 global leaders from business, finance, and government to drive urgent climate action ahead of #COP29. It was an inspiring day filled with passionate discussions on #decarbonization, #CleanEnergy solutions, and innovations for a #NetZero future. 💡🌍 📸 Check out some highlights from the Summit below! We are thrilled to announce that the on-demand recordings are now available! You can also read the Summit’s key takeaways in the outcome newsletter. Don’t miss the chance to revisit key moments and insights from this powerful event. As Kevin Conrad, Founder of the Coalition for Rainforest Nations, urged us: "Recognize that you have a role. The role is not to voluntarily act, but it is to challenge your government and have their back when it comes to ambition, call for high ambition, ask for robust regulation.” 🎥 Watch On-Demand: bit.ly/3zNba6b  📰 Read Outcome Newsletter: https://lnkd.in/eiM__qNi Now we are keeping this momentum towards #COP29 in Baku! #WorldClimateSummit2024 #ClimateAction #NetZero #Sustainability #ClimateChange #GreenTransition #ClimateWeekNYC #UNGA79 Photos featuring Matsi Modise Stephanie Pfeifer OBE Nicolette Bartlett Andrew Siwo Helen Clarkson Amy Barnes and many beautiful attendees at the New York edition of #WCS2024.

Biodiversity is threatened both on land and in water, with agriculture, fishing, and water-intensive industries disrupting wildlife through the depletion of habitats and resources like water. Indeed, water is a key resource under threat, but change may be ahead.” – Isobel Ashbey, Head of Biodiversity and Nature Tech, Cambridge Consultants, Capgemini Invent & Marie-Neige Couriaut, Vice President in the Global Sustainability Services team, Capgemini Group Biodiversity loss is increasingly understood to threaten industries. According to Capgemini , a promising solution to protect both businesses and the planet lies at the nexus of nature and tech: engineering biology. Innovations across sectors are already harnessing the unlimited potential of bio-solutions. Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/dF8eYsXD

🌿 Thursday’s World Biodiversity Summit - New York Edition was filled with inspiring insights and actionable recommendations. We were reminded that the biodiversity crisis is everyone’s business, and building a #NaturePositive future requires inclusivity and collaboration across all sectors. A key takeaway was the urgent need for a holistic approach that connects climate and biodiversity action. “Nature is the most critical infrastructure we have. It provides the fundamental services needed to achieve our mission of protecting public health, restoring ecosystems, and creating resilient communities.” - Michael S. Regan, Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency Accelerating investments in #NatureBasedSolutions by 2030 is at the core of our mission ahead of #COP16 in Cali, where we will host the flagship edition of World Biodiversity Summit and will have an active presence inside the Blue Zone and Green Zone, via the World Climate Impact Hub. 📅 Join us on October 26th for the next edition of #WorldBiodiversitySummit and be part of the global movement working toward a climate and nature-positive future. 👉 Register now: https://lnkd.in/djkHNTgK #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #Sustainability #COP16Colombia #PeaceWithNature
