The speakers were able to discuss innovative initiatives in their respective fields. BNP Paribas partnered with CSM to highlight the joint efforts of science, the economy and finance to protect this natural capital, whose maritime and land aspects were defined in a two-day multidisciplinary workshop after the conference.
“I am delighted that BNP Paribas is alongside CSM, which is doing a remarkable job in Monaco on issues related to Natural Capital. The preservation of Natural Capital is fundamental, both for present and future generations,” said Territory Director Monaco at BNP Paribas, Françoise Puzenat. “In order to protect the environment and its precious biodiversity we need to interact to influence positively decision-makers,” said Denis Germand, Scientific Director at the CSM.
