Dynamization by the NBI team

• ROOM 1 - Natural Value in Consumption This session explores how nature directly influences business margins, revealing the materiality of risks and transforming them into strategic value. Using a Nature Positive approach, participants will discuss how to generate concrete results by reducing impacts and using natural resources efficiently. The session emphasizes the importance of measuring key indicators to guide decisions, with a special focus on water - showing how consuming less can mean more profit margin. The meeting closes with a practical 90-day plan, clearly defining who does what.
• ROOM 2 - Territory that counts In this room, the starting point is the territory - where the impact really happens. The journey begins with a sectoral mapping, identifying responsibilities and areas of action, and then delves into the assessment of risks, dependencies and opportunities linked to nature. The issue of water once again emerges as a priority, but now from a local perspective: how to mitigate water impacts to ensure the future resilience of territories. The closing is an invitation to collective action, aligning sectors and actors to "close ranks" and move forward together on sustainable solutions.
