UK business leaders, senior government officials, scientists and conservation experts are coming together in Edinburgh today (15 July 2026) to take collective action on biodiversity loss – one of the most significant strategic risks facing businesses today.

Hosted by JNCC, the UK Business and Biodiversity Forum (UKBBF) and NatureScot, Biodiversity + Business Live will focus on translating global insight into tangible, strategic action for business and examine how nature-positive leadership can create long-term value and resilience, inform strategic decision-making, enable collaboration at scale, and drive credible business action.

Dr Gemma Harper OBE, Chief Executive of JNCC said: “Nature underpins our economy, our businesses and our communities, yet the evidence is clear that the natural systems we depend on are under increasing pressure. Biodiversity loss is not just an environmental challenge – it is a strategic business risk.
