Session Description

Organised by EBRD and the OECD, this session will bring together voices of government agencies and organisations working to support them in policies and investments for nature. It will showcase ongoing initiatives from the presenters to identify and deliver clear and concrete contributions from the private sector, even in sectors where impacts on nature are “hard to abate”. The session will particularly highlight opportunities in Central Asia with support by the Government of Germany.
