After a successful 1st edition in Davos in 2020 and a virtual series in 2021, the World Biodiversity Forum returned to Davos from 26 June to 1 July 2022. Un­der the theme ‘In­spi­ra­tion for Ac­tion,’ the sec­ond World Bio­di­ver­si­ty Fo­rum brought to­geth­er re­searchers across all dis­ci­plines of bio­di­ver­si­ty sci­ence with prac­ti­tion­ers and so­ci­etal ac­tors. The fo­rum of­fered in­spi­ra­tion and ex­am­ples for ac­tions and so­lu­tions to con­serve bio­di­ver­si­ty, and set us on a path to­wards trans­for­ma­tion for sus­tain­abil­i­ty.
