Nature House
Fostering action on Biodiversity
The challenge
Turn a global agreement into something people can act on
COP16 was the first UN Biodiversity Conference since the adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, a historic plan to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.
For Project Everyone, it also marked the culmination of 18 months of work developing the Framework’s new visual identity. The challenge was to bring that work to life and create a space where people could connect, collaborate and turn ambition for nature into action.
The idea
Create a home for nature, culture and collaboration
Project Everyone created Nature House, an inclusive convening space in Cali where delegates could step away from the formal negotiations to learn, challenge ideas and build new partnerships.
The programme was shaped around two ideas: inspiration, through conversations and collaboration around biodiversity, and celebration, bringing Colombian culture, food, music and art into the heart of the experience.
what happened
Four days of ideas, connection and Colombian culture
Across four days, Nature House hosted 25 events exploring Arts & Culture, Finance and the Road to COP30.
Roundtables, workshops, dinners, performances and informal conversations brought together Indigenous leaders, businesses, civil society, government, the UN and the creative industries. Sessions were delivered across multiple languages, while Colombian artists, musicians and food producers helped create an experience rooted firmly in Cali and its culture.
