Driving Biodiversity Through Collaboration – Shaping a Nature-Positive Future Together

Location:Rathaus - Collab 1

Biodiversity is far more than an ecological buzzword – it's the foundation of healthy ecosystems, climate-resilient cities, and sustainable economies. Especially in urban environments and the energy sector, it’s becoming clear: protecting biodiversity is not just a responsibility, it's a strategic opportunity for innovation, cooperation, and future readiness.
To truly protect biodiversity, we must start thinking in ecosystems – and acting together across sectors.

This interactive session kicks off with a thought-provoking keynote on biodiversity in business, followed by a dialogue exploring key questions such as:

  • What frameworks already exist for biodiversity-friendly energy production – and what needs to change for businesses, governments, and research institutions to collaborate effectively?

  • How can citizens actively engage in biodiversity projects and co-create impact?

  • How can biodiversity be seen not just as a duty, but as a driver of innovation and long-term value for companies?

These essential stakeholder groups will come together:

Public Sector
Civil Society
Private Sector

We aim to build bridges – between strategy and practice, city and enterprise, research and real-world action.
Together, we’ll shape fresh perspectives for a nature-positive future.
