To help advance a development strategy that values natural capital in Africa, the Pan-African Business and Biodiversity Forum will initiate dialogues in four thematic areas: extractive industries, sustainable agriculture, energy-nature nexus and natural capital accounting. Furthermore, the Forum will promote intra- and inter-sectoral collaborations among key stakeholders. A road map for the establishment of National and Sub-regional Business and Biodiversity Networks will also be launched.
