Nature, Land & Sea Forum

Innovation Zero 2024 Main Stage

Home  |  Forums | Nature, Land & Sea Forum

Welcome to the Nature, Land & Sea Forum at Innovation Zero World. Over two days, sessions will focus on the climate and nature crises, with expert speakers examining the key challenges halting progress to a secure, liveable planet for all.

According to the WWF, nature has absorbed 54% of human-related carbon dioxide emissions over the past 10 years. This forum will delve into how we can deregulate, derisk and better communicate the efficacy of nature-based solutions, and revolutionise current land and agricultural practices.

We will also drive forward conversations around the blue economy which is anticipated to be worth more than $3 trillion per year by 2030, as we work to mitigate the ‘era of global boiling’ threatening ocean ecosystems.
