On September 26th, the fourth edition of the World Biodiversity Summit convened alongside the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and Climate Week NYC. The program aimed to bridge the conversations surrounding climate and biodiversity and facilitate solutions, investments, innovations, and partnerships to tackle both crises, paving the way to a new green economy.
