In line with our commitment to continuously participate in initiatives pushing for action on biodiversity issues, we have joined the group of 78 financial institutions managing more than $10 trillion in assets that urge world governments to halt and reverse biodiversity loss and call for raising the ambition by setting specific targets for the financial sector supporting redirection of financial flows from nature harming to nature positives activities. Transition to a nature-positive economy could generate $10 trillion of annual business opportunities and nearly 400 million jobs by 20301 while fostering cobenefits in the fight against climate change considering the essential role of biodiversity in regulation of greenhouse gases fluxes.
Among the themes on which the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) World Conservation Congress focused, the need to transform the global financial system and direct investments into projects that benefit nature and biodiversity was largely addressed throughout the event.

Close to 150 institutional investors, representing over US$ 14 trillion in assets under management, are calling for a fair and equitable global response to the pandemic, including through fully financing the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator, a global collaboration dedicated to accelerate development, production, and equitable access to COVID-19 tests, treatments, and vaccines. The signatories have also committed to engage with healthcare companies to promote bolder industry actions and therefore contribute to ending the pandemic.
