The Institut de la Finance Durable, a branch of Paris Europlace, has assembled a delegation to attend COP16 on biodiversity, due to be held in Cali from 21rst October to 1rst November 2024. Two years after the adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the Paris Financial Center remains committed for the preservation of biodiversity. While supporting the ambition and implementation of the 23 targets set in Montreal, the actors from the financial center call on governments to clarify the implementation framework for the private sector.

The Paris financial center recognises the interdependence between climate and biodiversity and reaffirms its determination to take action on all these environmental issues. The Place Financial Center also wishes to call on the public authorities to move in the same direction by issuing clear, transparent, legible, stable and fair rules that will engage all economic players in a long-term dynamic in favour of nature.
