The Champions for Nature are leading the nature-positive transition by accelerating sector transitions, unlocking finance and valuing natural capital.


## Our ambition

In December 2022, 196 parties agreed on the landmark Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework to halt biodiversity loss by 2030 and enable humans to live in harmony with nature by 2050. This will now be translated into national and sector-level plans, requiring corporates, financial institutions and investors to take concrete action.The Champions for Nature community has a critical role to play in helping meet this ambition, by mainstreaming nature and biodiversity in business and financial decision-making. It focuses on two priorities:

### Accelerating sector transitions towards a nature-positive economy

As the momentum towards addressing nature loss rises globally, institutions are increasingly making commitments to safeguard nature. It is crucial to build consensus on sectoral actions for nature-positive outcomes and strengthen measurement and accountability.


### Unlocking financing and valuing nature capital

As of September 2022, less than US$7 billion per year has been formally committed to biodiversity protection by governments. Both governments and private sector organizations have a role to play in directing more funding to the protection and restoration of ecosystems.


## The business case for a nature-positive economy


**US$44 trillion** Over half of global GDP is moderately or highly dependent on nature and the ecosystem services it provides.

**US$10 trillion** Annual business opportunity could be delivered by nature-positive transitions by 2030, but also 395 million jobs.


## An initiative of the Centre for Nature and Climate

The Champions for Nature community is a part of the Centre for Nature and Climate, a multi-stakeholder platform that focuses on protecting our environment and fostering sustainable practices, with the mission to achieve industry decarbonization in line with the 1.5ºC Paris pathway; systems transition in ocean and land use, and resource stewardship in food, water and materials.
