#UNBiodiversity

The screened theme at this #KPMG event at #UNGA says it all: #BiodiversityAction is good for business and finance. We need businesses to step up at scale.

#Target15 of the 🌎Biodiversity Framework #KMGBF can guide corporate action.

Expect more on this topic at #COP17Armenia.

Grateful to the World Climate Foundation for weaving nature into the climate conversation on the sidelines of #UNGA.

#Fact: biodiversity loss undermines the economy and erodes resilience and adaptive capacity.

Climate change and biodiversity loss must be addressed in tandem.

At #UNGA the discussion with Mr. Takeshi Sekiya, Vice-Minister for Global Environmental Affairs, covered Japan's strong support for synergies and broader #BiodiversityAction, from hosting the #GNPS2026 to supporting @unbiodiversity.bsky.social through the Japan Biodiversity Fund.

Thank you.

🟢 #BiodiversityAction guided by #Target15 of the #KMGBF is gathering momentum.

➕1,000 organisations across 56 countries or areas have published 1st, 2nd or 3rd generation Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures-aligned reports— a 100% increase relative to 2025. tnfd.global/market-momen...

Meeting with Dame @angelaeagle1.bsky.social at #UNGA, we discussed the strong support that the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 continues to provide for #BiodiversityAction guided by the Global Biodiversity Framework #KMGBF, and the country's leadership in integrating biodiversity and climate finance.

At #UNGA, conferring with H.E. Sigrun Aasland, Minister of Climate and Environment of Norway, I expressed @unbiodiversity.bsky.social's appreciation for the country's commitment to a successful @cop17arm.bsky.social and its continued support for the #CaliFund (www.cbd.int/califund).

Takk, Norge 🇳🇴

An honour to confer with H.E. Huang Runqiu, Minister of Ecology and Environment of China, on the eve of the #KunmingDialogue.

We discussed the importance of leveraging this multi-stakeholder consultation for the accelerated implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework #KMGBF.

The #KunmingDialogue opens on Monday in Kunming, China: three days of informal multistakeholder consultations related to the Global Review of the #KMGBF, which will take place at #COP17Armenia: www.cbd.int/conferences/....   
#BiodiversityAction #ForNature

Ahead of #COP17Armenia and #COP31, this timely @unep.org report is a reminder that now is the time to double down on #ClimateAction & #BiodiversityAction, because climate change and biodiversity loss are two sides of the same planetary crisis and must be addressed together.

In this triple-COP year, @unbiodiversity.bsky.social
is joining forces with @unccd.bsky.social & #UNFCCC
to leverage aligned governance cycles and strengthen engagement with businesses and financial institutions.
