Parallel Session | Panel 2.1 | Private innovation and nature-based solutions for sustainable challenges

Session Organizer: USFQ

Session Description: The role of the private sector in meeting sustainable goals is crucial. Nowadays, private companies are key actors in promoting and implementing innovative projects and nature-based solutions that could help conserve biodiversity and, at the same time, promote social and economic benefits. In this panel, we will present interesting examples of private initiatives in Ecuador that have integrated sustainability. The main two goals of this panel are: a) to learn about real innovation and solutions proposed for sustainability in different contexts, and, b) to discuss lessons learned and challenges to integrate biodiversity and sustainability targets at the private level.
