It will provide a forum for high-level dialogues and in-depth ‘boots on the ground’ discussions alike. For one and a half days\, participants will embark on a journey to drive transformatie actions towrads a nature-positive future. \nTo drive business success with nature\, EBNS will focus around three themes: \n–       Business Action: How to enable and accelerate credible and effective business action and transformation? \n–       Circular and Bioeconomy: How can businesses leverage the potential of circular solutions and the bioeconomy to contribute to a nature positive future? \n–       Biodiversity Finance: How to rapidly accelerate the alignment of financial flows with biodiversity targets and support companies in their transformation? \nHalfway to 2030\, we realise we have to step up.
