Highlight the loss of biodiversity and ecosystems as a strategic risk for business, the economy, and society, rather than a peripheral environmental issue. Biodiversity loss and climate change are deeply interconnected, each reinforces the other, making this issue highly relevant to the broader climate agenda.

The session will demonstrate that nature is a fundamental component of business models, value chains, and financial stability, and that the loss of natural capital could trigger crises comparable to the financial crisis.

Moderator: Karin Nilsson, Environmental Policy Lead, Svenskt Näringsliv
