In an open letter ahead of COP31 in Antalya, ICC Secretary General John W.H.

Business, ICC argues, must be at the table as a co-architect of solutions.
In a statement delivered on behalf of business at the High-Level Segment of the United Nations Biodiversity Conference COP17, ICC urged negotiators to move from commitments to action.
