Our approach in advancing a society-wide response to biodiversity loss
Achieving the 2022 Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework goal of halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030 – our shared ambition of becoming "nature-positive" – requires a whole-of-society approach. Both private and public stakeholders must scale and accelerate their actions to address this urgent challenge.
Organizations that take proactive steps to address nature loss can not only minimize disruptions from evolving policies and regulatory requirements but also manage nature-related physical, transition, and systemic risks more effectively. By acting early, they can seize opportunities to lead the transition towards a nature-positive future, benefiting ecosystems, communities, and economies alike.
Nature is at a tipping point
Most top companies have climate targets, yet only 5% have one for biodiversity, despite the global economy’s dependency on nature.
Why nature matters for businesses
The importance of nature for businesses and financial institutions is growing as the evidence for nature-related risks rises.
Setting credible nature strategies
Despite the increased momentum on nature over recent years, not enough is being done.
The need for a sectoral approach
Sector-specific analyses and guidance can help companies understand their relationship with nature and the actions they can take further.
Get started
The imperatives to tackle carbon emissions and nature loss are interdependent. Companies should integrate their nature-positive and net-zero strategies.
