Business4Land Lounge: A Collaboration Catalyst: Situated at Pavilion B15, the Business 4 Land Lounge served as the focal point for private-sector engagement at COP16. Created by the UNCCD Global Mechanism and powered by ChangeNOW with support from the Saudi Environment Fund, this space facilitated collaboration between businesses, governments and civil society. Featuring events, roundtables and networking opportunities, the Lounge aimed to foster partnerships and highlight innovative approaches to sustainable land management. Open daily to Blue Zone-accredited guests, it provided a vibrant venue to network and catalyze action on land degradation solutions.
