We participated in the meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Held in Cali (Colombia), this year, under the slogan “Peace with Nature”, it seeks reflection to improve the relationship we have with the environment, rethink an economic model that does not prioritize the extraction, overexploitation and pollution of nature. Within the framework of the COP, from the Spanish Business and Biodiversity Initiative (IEEB), promoted by the Biodiversity Foundation, we will highlight the actions carried out to promote the incorporation of nature in the decision-making of the Spanish private sector by participating in parallel events with the rest of the members of the Global Partnership Business and Biodiversity and at its annual meeting, which will take place on October 26.
