CBD COP17: A Key Moment for Global Biodiversity Action

From 19 to 30 October 2026, governments, businesses, financial institutions, civil society and other stakeholders will gather in Yerevan, Armenia, for COP17 of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The conference will play an important role in reviewing progress towards the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and identifying priorities for accelerating action for nature. With a packed programme of negotiations, side events and business-focused discussions, COP17 will provide a unique opportunity to exchange experiences, showcase solutions and strengthen collaboration across sectors. In this special edition, we highlight how the European Business & Biodiversity Platform and its partners are contributing to the COP17 conversation. From upcoming webinars and our own COP17 Business & Finance Hub session to partner-led events taking place in Yerevan, this newsletter provides an overview of key opportunities to engage with the business and biodiversity agenda in the lead-up to and during COP17.
