SBND Virtual Event: How the UN Summits

 on Climate Change and Biodiversity Affect our World

Global leaders met in Egypt in November 2022, and again in Montreal in December 2022, for the COP27 Summit on Climate Change and the COP15 Biodiversity Conference to discuss climate change and biodiversity, reaching significant agreements that will drive important changes around the world.

These gatherings, convened by the United Nations, bring together heads of state from around the world and agreements made there affect the world, the business community, and our lives in Michigan. 

Speaker

Andrew Deutz, director of global policy, institutions, and conservation finance for The Nature Conservancy, will share why these global discussions are relevant to our everyday world; what impacts we should anticipate in our decision-making as business leaders; and how The Nature Conservancy is participating in these global discussions to assure a sustainable world for both people and nature.
