The 2025 WWF Earth Summit is a unique one-day event that will bring together decision makers from across Asia Pacific to address critical environmental issues and uncover pathways towards a net positive future.
The year 2025 represents a crucial juncture in our global efforts to address climate change and biodiversity loss: It marks the halfway point of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), the final stretch to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and a critical year for countries to renew their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to reduce emissions. Within this context, WWF Earth Summit 2025 will hold particular significance.
Building on the successes of the 2023 and 2024 Earth Summits, the event will now broaden its scope to include the whole Asia-Pacific region, as well as case studies and speakers from other continents. Central to the programme is the theme “Climate. Nature. Transition.” emphasising the critical role that nature plays in both mitigating and adapting to climate change, while also addressing the threats that climate change poses to ecosystems, like coral reefs and forests, and the services they provide. Discussions will span topics such as landscape regeneration, the challenges of scaling carbon finance, and practical examples of net-positive pathways for industries to follow. The summit will also showcase WWF flagship programmes on climate and nature in the Asia-Pacific region, including inspiring testimonials from the communities with whom we work on the ground.
This day of solution-oriented dialogue between business leaders, policymakers and scientists aims at fostering collaboration and driving meaningful change in our region, especially around these topics:
The Summit will create further engagement opportunities via testimonials from communities, expert presentations (Ted-talk style), a Fireside Chat, booths showcasing WWF work across Asia Pacific, and networking and side discussions with other high-profile corporates and decision makers.
