A keynote by SEI Executive Director Måns Nilsson will highlight SEI’s research on biodiversity and the Sustainable Development Goals.
In early May, a report on the threat to biodiversity was released. The report’s conclusion, that one million species are threatened with extinction, has attracted much attention and concern among both the general public and experts.
The report, compiled by 150 researchers from 50 countries, has been financed and published by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).

The EU Commission in Sweden invites you to a breakfast seminar where Dr. Anne Larigauderie, Executive Secretary of IPBES, will present the report. She will also discuss how foundations and companies can improve their use of natural resources in a more sustainable way.
The keynote on biodiversity and the Sustainable Development Goals is presented by Måns Nilsson, Executive Director of SEI. This will be followed by a discussion on the theme ‘Companies for biodiversity: good documents and commitments’, together with companies such as Veolia / Öresundsbron Consortie, HeidelbergCement, Sveaskog and H&M.
