Rebuilding Nature Member Event

9:45am - 11:30am Introducing the Strategic Nature Network

To kick of the event we will hear from Co-Founders Stephen Elderkin and Evan Bowen-Jones as they formally launch the Strategic Nature Network 1.0 and how we can rebuild nature for health, prosperity and resilience for all of us.

Supported by special guests Anna Dimitriadis in conversation with Tony Juniper OBE and Sir John Lawton

12:50pm Session 1 - Financing the Strategic Nature Network

The session will explore how finance can help reposition nature as critical infrastructure - essential to water security, flood resilience, climate adaptation, food systems, biodiversity recovery, and long-term economic performance.

Sponsored by Triodos Bank, the discussion will focus on how public, private and blended finance can support investable pipelines of place-based natural infrastructure assets, while building confidence across sectors.

The session also supports the wider ambition of Rebuilding Nature to act as a neutral, cross-sector convening alliance, helping diverse stakeholders align around a common framework for action.

1:20pm Session 2 - Corporate Action

This session will focus on how businesses can move from broad environmental ambition to practical action through strategic, place-based investment in nature-based solutions (NBS). It will explore how the SNN can provide the framework for companies to identify priority areas for biggest impact, coordinate demand, unlock investment, and deliver measurable resilience outcomes.

Sponsored by Yorkshire Water, the session also highlights the growing leadership role of utilities and infrastructure providers in demonstrating how investment in natural systems can reduce risk and create long-term value.

1:55pm Session 3 - Action to Policy

The Action to Policy session will bring together leading voices to explore how the UK can unlock systemic change to accelerate nature recovery at scale.

Taking place alongside the launch of the Strategic Nature Network (SNN) 1.0, the session will focus on the enabling policy and regulatory conditions required to position nature as critical infrastructure and to unlock sustained private and public investment into natural systems.

The discussion will explore how policy, regulation, and market design can move from fragmented environmental frameworks toward an integrated system that treats nature as core national infrastructure.
