OUR THEME
Nature-climate action: Our opportunity to lead
The impacts of nature loss and climate change are accelerating.This is a pivotal moment at which we still have the opportunity to put theplanet on a path towards a healthy, resilient and thriving future.
Across Australia, and our broader region, there is clear demand to uphold nature commitments, invest in solutions, and back the people delivering results on the ground.
The conference will showcase the power of land conservation, and the efforts and impacts of the people that steward, lead, and invest in it. It will build the case for nature as a core climate solution and driver of economic strength and resilience. It will showcase First Nations, landholders and communities on the front line of action, and highlight the diverse leaders and partnerships driving critical on-ground work.
Together, we stand at the intersection of nature-climate solutions, helping to define the next chapter of conservation impact.
