This discussion was part of efforts to support the implementation of the Indonesian Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (IBSAP) 2025–2045, which serves as Indonesia’s national strategy in fulfilling the mandate of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF). National Target 18 in IBSAP specifically emphasizes the involvement of companies and financial institutions to reduce the negative impacts of their activities on nature and to report the positive contributions made.

“This discussion provided business leaders with practical insights on how to apply nature-positive principles into business operations, set and track measurable biodiversity targets, and align strategies with IBSAP and global disclosure frameworks like TNFD, said Dr. Indah Budiani, Executive Director of IBCSD.“Indonesia as a micro-diversity country has a strategic role as well as a great responsibility to stop or reverse environmental degradation. As emphasized in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and national implementation through IBSAP.”

The discussion was attended by representatives from the private sector and the public sector, including BAPPENAS and the Ministry of Environment, who also delivered presentations. Representative from Directorate of Environment BAPPENAS, Martha Siregar, presented an overview of the IIBSAP 2025–2045 and emphasized the importance of aligning business contributions with national biodiversity goals. Meanwhile, Mutiara Siadari from the Directorate of Biodiversity Conservation Ministry of Environment, highlighted the relevance of biodiversity protection in strengthening national food systems and policies.

As a facilitator for various stakeholders, IUCN also highlights the importance of cross-sector collaboration.”IUCN acts as a convener working with various stakeholders because we believe that the involvement of the private sector is key, especially when we talk about IBSAP, as well as the whole government and whole society approach. Of course, the roles of our private sector friends are very important to drive innovation, implement solutions, and ensure that business models can align with nature’s health,” said Dr. Satrio Adiwicaksono, IUCN Asia Office.

This discussion also reflects the global momentum towards nature-positive as an approach that is now the center of attention in the framework of disclosure and concrete action in the field of sustainability.”People were so obsessed with TNFD and getting the disclosure right, then they forget about the action taken after which is probably more important,” said Florence Curet, Senior Programme Manager IUCN.

With the growing importance of nature-positive initiatives, this activity is expected to encourage companies to set realistic biodiversity targets, integrate them into their core business strategies, and support sustainable national conservation goals.

To effectively address the existing gaps in coordination and alignment among key stakeholders, concrete mechanisms are needed to translate Indonesia’s climate commitments into actionable collaboration. This necessitates the development of a joint declaration to formalize commitments, a taskforce to coordinate and oversee implementation, and a policy brief to provide clear technical guidance. These tools will serve as the foundation for strengthened multi-stakeholder engagement and more effective governance.

• Draft a Policy Brief offering technical and regulatory guidance to support the declaration and taskforce, addressing governance gaps, incentives, and smallholder inclusion.

The global “take-make-waste” economy is driving unsustainable resource use, contributing to 90% of biodiversity loss and water stress. With global waste projected to soar to 3.4 billion metric tons by 2050, we are consuming resources 1.75 times faster than Earth can regenerate. Waste management companies have a vital role to play in reversing this trend by promoting prevention, reduction, recycling, and circular economy practices. By transforming operations and value chains, the sector can help reduce pressure on nature and contribute to the Global Biodiversity Framework’s goal to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030 through more sustainable resource and waste systems.

The agri-food system, which spans from input supply to food disposal, sustains 2.5 billion livelihoods and feeds the global population. However, it heavily depends on—and simultaneously threatens—biodiversity and ecosystems. Agriculture is the leading driver of deforestation, biodiversity loss, and soil degradation, impacting 86% of species at risk of extinction. Despite these challenges, the sector holds immense potential to drive nature-positive change. To ensure food security, human health, and ecological balance, a rapid transformation in how food is produced, sourced, and consumed is critical. Sector-specific actions guide businesses in supporting the Global Biodiversity Framework’s mission to reverse nature loss by 2030.
