Join CDP at COP16
CDP is organizing a series of events at COP16 in Cali, Colombia. Join us this October to ensure we raise the level of action across society, that accurate data is at the heart of the Global Biodiversity Framework, and that the “COP implementation” is a success.

Implementing the dissemination of the TNFD through the CDP - Adoption of the TNFD and next steps
Sunday, October 27th - 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM COT; Dann Carlton Hotel Cali
The fate of nature and the fate of business are intrinsically linked. Together, CDP and TNFD will explore how they are collaborating to help companies place nature at the heart of their strategies, providing investors with data that is useful for their decisions. Join us to discover more about the benefits of robust disclosure, the gaps in current actions, and how to begin your TNFD adoption journey.
The “nature” of reporting: Corporate disclosure and transition planning - co-organized with TNFD
Sunday, October 27 - 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM COT; Dann Carlton Hotel Cali, Salon Colombia
This two-part event brings together leading organizations, regulators, standards bodies, and reference bodies to present progress and updates since COP15.

Session 2, 'The rise of nature in transition planning', will launch the TNFD and GFANZ preliminary guidelines on integrating nature into transition planning for public consultation.

Unlocking funding to enhance biodiversity conservation and sustainable use through a landscape approach

The role of nature in transition plans
Tuesday, October 29th; 15:30 - 16:30 COT; Nature Positive Pavilion (Blue Zone) – invitation only
Until now, transition plans have been largely climate-focused. However, there is a consensus that this needs to change. This invitation-only roundtable will bring together key stakeholders responsible for frameworks, norms, and guidelines to discuss the role of nature in transition plans and reflect on the need for collaboration and alignment among initiatives.
