INSEAD Supporting Concrete Solutions for Corporations to Integrate Biodiversity into Business Strategies at the Annual ChangeNOW Summit

Held online on 27, 28 and 29th May 2021, the ChangeNOW Summit – co-founded by INSEAD alumni - is positioned to discuss ways of collaborative action for the planet.

As the official and major Academic Partner for the third year in a row, the INSEAD Hoffmann Global Institute for Business and Society will convene a distinguished group of speakers for a total of five sessions over three days, including two keynote addresses by Mark Carney, UN Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance, and Inger Andersen, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme.

As the ChangeNOW academic partner for the third year, we are again joining forces to accelerate change towards a more sustainable world. In this 2021 edition, we will promote inclusive and nature-positive solutions for leaders who are on a mission to change the way business is done.
