On 7. and 8. November the European Business and Nature Summit will take place in Madrid/Spain. The event is co-organized by the European B@B Platform.

At the United Nations (UN) Biodiversity Conference in 2018 an Action Agenda for Nature and People was launched. This agenda aims to catalyse a groundswell of actions from all sectors and stakeholders of society in support of biodiversity, and support the adoption of an ambitious post-2020 global biodiversity framework at the fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP15) of the Convention on Biological Diversity taking place in 2020. This New Deal for Nature and People will, in its turn, be a basis for the post-2020 EU biodiversity strategy.

Seizing this global momentum the event will serve as a regional stepping stone in the global run to strengthen the role of businesses in supporting nature conservation and its sustainable use.
