Nature in Practice at NYCW'26

​For the past five years, the Nature Tech Collective has been bringing together the people working hardest to make nature a business reality — at the London School of Economics, in partnership with the Doris Duke Foundation, with Conservation International, and with organisations including JP Morgan, Coca-Cola, Google, Chanel, HSBC, Rio Tinto, TNFD, UNEP, and many more.

Nature in Practice is our NY Climate Week gathering for 2026.

A half-day summit on Thursday 24 September at monday.com's Manhattan headquarters, designed as a non-solicitation environment for honest, practical conversation amongst pre-vetted sustainability leads, nature tech innovators, investors, and NGO partners in a room built for real exchange.



What's on
The afternoon opens with a short plenary, then moves into parallel working sessions of 20–25 people. Each session is anchored around a real-world challenge or implementation story. Sessions run 45 minutes under Chatham House Rule.

The challenges on the table reflect what corporate sustainability teams face, as an example you might expect sessions on:

• ​Turning nature commitments into funded, prioritised action

• ​Making the business case to leadership and procurement

• ​Navigating deforestation and biodiversity risk across complex supply chains

• ​What EUDR, TNFD, and emerging regulation means in practice

• ​Measuring nature impact credibly: data gaps, baselines, and what good looks like

• ​Engaging suppliers and aligning incentives toward nature-positive outcome
  
  The attendees
  
  The event will be capped at 150 attendees filtered to bring together a curated mix of

• ​Corporate sustainability, ESG, and procurement leads at companies actively navigating nature and biodiversity in their value chains,

• ​Nature tech innovators and solution providers

• ​NGOs and implementation partners working on nature-positive outcomes with the private sector
  
  After the workshops, the evening closes with wine, beer, and informal conversation on monday.com's rooftop wine bar terrace.

​Nature in Practice takes place during NY Climate Week 2026, co-hosted by the Nature Tech Collective and Monday.com.
