Leading the transformation of our economy and society for a nature-positive world
Nature degradation threatens our wellbeing, as well as our economic, political, and societal structures. Business-as-usual cannot continue. To promote the systemic solutions and transitions that will create a global ‘nature-positive’ economy, we need ambitious public-private collaboration, now.
The Nature Action Agenda (NAA) is a multi-sector movement catalyzing economic action to halt biodiversity loss by 2030 and enable humans to live in harmony with nature.
The NAA is working to:
1. Build a compelling economic and business case for safeguarding nature through the publication of three New Nature Economy Reports focusing on risks, opportunities, and financing.
2. Disrupt business-as-usual in three priority systems - food, land and ocean use; extractives and energy; and infrastructure and the built environment- and transition to a nature-positive economy through its multi-stakeholder community of leaders, Champions for Nature.
3. Bring together high-profile and forward-thinking businesses calling for policy ambition and action in the run-up to the UN CBD COP15 through supporting the Business for Nature coalition.
