What concrete solutions are being made in Finland for a nature-positive world? How is halting the loss of biodiversity linked to business, research, urban planning and strategies, as we head towards 2030? What are cities doing to reinforce biodiversity?
This is what Nature Forum 2025 is all about. Nature Forum is a platform for cooperation that accelerates sustainable changes in society. It's an opportunity to influence, network, and discover cooperation possibilities that turn words into actions.
