At the Summit, leaders explored effective ways to realise global commitments under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, and how to accelerate collective action to drive investment in nature and strengthen activities to protect and repair the environment.

ICC Sydney collaborated with the Australian and NSW Governments’ Departments of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment, and Water to deliver the Global Nature Positive Summit. Their multipurpose spaces, service excellence, and venue management expertise enabled multiple delegations and key stakeholders to be brought together for the Summit. ICC Sydney’s venue and team members supported the hosts to deliver a high-profile, low waste, and carbon friendly event with a focus on corporate social responsibility and professionalism.

ICC Sydney chief executive officer, Adam Mather-Brown, said the venue was immensely proud to be a part of the historic event as it hosted international environment leaders to meet, collaborate, and seek to fast-track solutions for nature.

“As an example of a built environment that enhances nature and biodiversity and with our own commitments to positive environmental practices and a Nature Positive Sydney, we were perfectly placed to host a business event of this status,” Mather-Brown said.

“Together with federal and state agencies, our team was proud to plan and host this impactful event of international importance, offering a seamless experience for all attendees.

“Through meticulous advanced planning, stakeholder collaboration and innovative event delivery, organisers and attendees were able to focus on the matter at hand.”

“The Global Nature Positive Summit was a crucial opportunity for leaders and experts to come together, share insights and move forward nature positive agenda,” Waterford said. “It really shows the power of business events to bring people together to drive positive change. As an integral contributor to Sydney’s knowledge economy and global economic positioning, we want to congratulate ICC Sydney for hosting this critical public policy forum.”
