SUMMARY:Online Event: Bringing nature into corporate decision-making: challenges and opportunities ahead
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 18 November 2021, 12:00 – 13:00 CET\n \nHosted by MEP César Luena\n \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER ( https://event.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1504078&tp_key=2c418913b1 )\n \nIn the aftermath of the UN Biodiversity Convention (UN CBD COP15) that took place in Kunming (China) in October, it is increasingly becoming clear that the shift to a nature-positive future will require all businesses to take better heed of their impacts and dependencies on biodiversity. The 2030 EU Biodiversity Strategy recognised that greater respect for nature is needed in business decision-making – paving the way for the expected legislative proposals on sustainable corporate governance as outlined in the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive published in April 2021.\nThe European Parliament Intergroup on ‘Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Development’ ( https://ebcd.org/intergroup/ ), PwC ( https://www.pwc.be/en/ ) and ICAEW ( https://www.icaew.com/ ) are delighted to invite you to join key policymakers, NGOs and industry representatives to reflect on the transformational changes that businesses need to make in order to protect and sustain biodiversity.\nJoin this session to hear from experts discussing the following key questions:\n\nIntegrating biodiversity considerations into corporate decision-making calls for a new vocabulary to account for nature. Learning from European and global experiences in tackling climate change, with carbon providing a universal metric, what can be done to ensure businesses price the natural assets they use?\nIf nature cannot be reduced to a simple financial value, how should businesses factor in their impacts, dependencies and risks relating to the main drivers of biodiversity loss – from changes in land and sea use, to overexploitation and climate change, to pollution and invasive alien species?\nThe Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, launched earlier this year, is an important move in the right direction; but are there other steps that could be taken?\nIs a more fundamental shift in perspective needed, to change measures of corporate success towards more inclusive and sustainable indicators of value?\n\nThe event builds on the joint online panel discussion on the role of the finance sector in saving the planet held earlier this year, which featured  the WWF film inspired by the Netflix series Our Planet.\nWe hope you are able to join us on 18 November at 12:00 CET.\nFinal Agenda:\n12:00 – 12:05 – Welcome remarks by event moderator – Richard Spencer, Director of Sustainability, ICAEW\n \n12:05 – 12:15 – Opening remarks by MEP César Luena\n12:15 – 12:25 – Intervention by:\n\nGautier Desme, Head of Data Innovation at S&P Global\n\n \n12:25 – 12:45 – Panel discussion:\n\nChantal van Ham, IUCN EU Programme Manager Nature Based Solutions & Acting Director\nProfessor Paolo Quattrone, Alliance Manchester Business School\nSofia Tsankova, Manager, Strategic Regulatory & Sustainability Services, PwC\n\n\n12:45 – 12:55 – Q&A session with the audience\n12:55 – 13:00 – Take-away messages by MEP César Luena\n												\n												\n																										\nVenue\nWebex\nDocuments of the meeting\nFinal Agenda – How to bring nature into corporate decision-making ( https://ebcd.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Final-Agenda-How-to-bring-nature-into-corporate-decision-making-1.pdf )\n
