Harmonising business engagement across the Rio Conventions

Fragmented policy signals across climate, nature, and land agendas are creating confusion for businesses trying to lead on sustainability. To accelerate credible corporate action, governments must provide more coherent, aligned guidance.

This joint submission to the Convention on Biological Diversity Secretariat – developed by the World Benchmarking Alliance, We Mean Business Coalition, and Business for Nature – calls for greater harmonisation in how the three Rio Conventions engage with the private sector. It outlines key recommendations to improve policy coherence, streamline business reporting, and enable more effective private sector contributions across climate, biodiversity, and land degradation goals.
