UKBBF Working Dialogues: Translating the Global Biodiversity Framework into Business Action

Location: Main Room

Organizers: UK Business & Biodiversity Forum (UKBBF)

The UK Business & Biodiversity Forum convenes its business delegation and partners in an interactive Working Dialogue to translate GBF commitments and COP17 outcomes into corporate action.

How do businesses turn global biodiversity commitments into operational reality? This interactive session applies the UKBBF’s signature Working Dialogues model — tested with over 200 business participants across seven thematic dialogues in 2026 — to the challenge of implementing the GBF and National Biodiversity Strategies at corporate level. Drawing on the UKBBF’s delegation of c.75 UK businesses, the session brings together business leaders, financial institutions and Global South partners to identify priority actions, map barriers to implementation and agree practical next steps for scaling nature-positive business practice aligned with Targets 14, 15 and 18.
