🔊 Today, Holcim joins Business for Nature and more than 130 businesses and financial institutions with combined revenues of $1.1 trillion in calling on Heads of State and governments to adopt and enforce nature policies to implement the Biodiversity Plan and accelerate decisive corporate action for nature. 🗨 "We call on governments to strengthen policies to drive business action and support the transition to a nature-positive, net-zero economy for all," said Nollaig Forrest, Chief Sustainability Officer at Holcim. 🌿 Nature is our greatest ally against climate change and with less than 100 days until the UN Biodiversity #COP16, the business statement is an urgent appeal from businesses to governments for their immediate leadership to strengthen – not weaken – the policies, incentives and legislation that will drive the necessary business action to halt and reverse nature loss this decade. 🔗View the COP16 business statement and endorsers: https://lnkd.in/eGhPBHyR 🔗View the full set of recommendations and asks from Business for Nature to governments: https://lnkd.in/eXjSefYC #Nature #Biodiversity #BuildingProgress
