🌱 🇫🇮 Just back from Helsinki and the European Business & Nature Summit 2025, hosted by Sitra, the European Business & Biodiversity Platform, and the European Commission. 🇪🇺
💡 We shared knowledge and new ideas for nature based solutions, innovative financing for nature restoration and what it takes to overcome the hurdles we are facing.
⚖️ At the top of the list came the need to work with and leverage the regulatory frameworks, as well as impart a clearer understanding of them, including their goals.
Finding innovative financing solutions and scaling them was also seen as crucial.
🇸🇪 Our very own Jessika Roswall, commissioner for the Environment, Water Resilience and a Competitive Circular Economy, raised that the bioeconomy and circularity are a necessity and not just an environmental choice.
🇫🇮 Finnish minister of the environment & climate change, Sari Multala, highlighted the need to use ecosystem accounting and circularity in order to create a truly nature positive economy.
As noted by Marco Lambertini, climate change will not go away – but us waiting to act will just make it more expensive.
In today’s tumultuous times, wise words were to remain cool and carry on. We have seen ups and downs in the world of environmental policy before, but the ups are always greater than the downs.
To finish, Humberto Delgado Rosa, Director for Biodiversity at the European Commission, noted that the world has experienced a generational failure since the 50s.
It is time to fulfill the Generational Goal and to make sure we hand over to the next generation a society in which the major environmental problems have been solved.
We can assist this from the corporate sector through making a Generational Contribution. (More on this soon…) 💡
