Nature Positive Initiative

TWO years ago, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework gave us a new roadmap with an ambitious mission to halt and reverse nature loss: to be Nature Positive by 2030. 🌱 But the work isn’t over. Across cities and in the countryside, on your travels, and out your own window - nature is still disappearing. Fewer insects. Vanished birds. Concrete jungles. Degraded coastlines. 💔 Nature loss isn’t just heartbreaking; it’s driving climate change. When ecosystems are destroyed, their ability to absorb carbon dioxide disappears too. This fuels the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change. ✊ The challenge is great, but so is our opportunity. The Nature Positive Initiative is bringing people together to restore nature - which will help communities, wildlife, and the climate. Learn how you can take action to build a nature-positive future: https://lnkd.in/e7JRTvtY #NaturePositive #BiodiversityLoss #ClimateAction #TwinCrises #KMGBF

✍ 📰 Read the latest article on the World Economic Forum stories: Why nature loss should be measured in the same way carbon emissions are tracked, with Dorothy Maseke ,CFIRM, African Natural Capital Alliance and Gavin Edwards, Nature Positive Initiative. More nature in the world is a beautiful goal, but although humans have long felt a moral obligation to protect nature, we are only just starting to appreciate the material importance of nature to our society and economy. We need to develop a credible set of biodiversity metrics that help us to measure whether nature is recovering. 👉 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/egjNfidW 👉 Find out more about the Nature Positive Initiative's project to align on one set of state of nature metrics: https://lnkd.in/eycKGxAw

Momentum for Nature Positive did not happen overnight. It’s the culmination of collaboration and drive for greater ambition in light of the urgent crises our world faces. Here’s how it came about: 🌟 The spark: In 2019, a group of some of the biggest international conservation organisations recognized the urgent need for a disruptive and unifying Global Goal to inspire the necessary action to reverse nature loss. ✊ Building momentum: By bringing widespread and diverse voices together, momentum for nature positive was built. 🌍 Global consensus: The goal gained widespread support from businesses, civil society and conservation organisations around the world. 📜 A landmark commitment: In 2022, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework adopted an ambitious mission to halt and reverse nature loss, in line with the definition of nature positive. 🏃➡️ The race to adoption: Today, 27 organisations make up the core stewardship group of the Nature Positive Initiative and over 150 organisations including NGOs, businesses and finance coalitions have joined the Nature Positive Forum, committing to uphold the definition of nature positive. Let’s work together to achieve this important goal.

Nature Positive isn't a tagline. It's a GLOBAL GOAL. 🌎🌱 A goal to reverse nature loss by 2030, to ensure more nature than 2020, and to achieve a full recovery by 2050. A nature-positive world isn't just possible, it's necessary.

The 'Private Finance and Investments for Nature-Positive' programme, run by Finance for Biodiversity, has been selected for funding under the Global Environment Facility’s Innovation Window. 👏 The programme aims to provide tools to financial institutions in order to support alignment of their finance activities and investments with nature-positive outcomes, thereby contributing to the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (K-M GBF). This aligns with GEF’s business model innovation and financial innovation categories, demonstrating how private finance can support global biodiversity goals. 👉 Read the annoucement: https://lnkd.in/dwkEm7Dj 👉 Find out more about the Innovation Funds: https://lnkd.in/gU5WxxzC Carlos Manuel Rodriguez Robert Bisset Anita de Horde Natacha Boric UN Biodiversity NatureFinance Marco Lambertini Aaron Vermeulen

❓ What is ‘Nature Positive’? It’s not just a tagline or descriptor. It’s a GLOBAL GOAL to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030, to ensure more nature than 2020, and achieve full recovery by 2050 – like the global climate goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, but for nature. Urgent action is needed. An equitable, net-zero emissions and nature-positive world is both necessary and possible.   🤝 Let’s work together to achieve this important goal.   Visit naturepositive.org to get involved.   #NaturePositive #NetZero #GlobalGoal #Biodiversity #Conservation

Thriving ecosystems are the backbone of life on Earth. They give us clean air, fresh water, and food. They stabilize our climate and protect us from natural disasters. 🆘 We are losing these precious resources. Since 1970, wildlife populations have dropped by 73%, and one million species are now on the brink of extinction. This is about more than numbers. It's about our connection with the planet itself. Our future depends on protecting nature before it’s too late. It’s time to halt and reverse nature loss.

The COP29 Nature Statement, signed by over 80 NGOs, business coalitions, Indigenous Peoples organizations and influential individuals, is an important reminder to those attending #COP29 that nature is vital in tackling the climate crisis. Recognition of nature's role in the solution, and faster progress to close the finance gap are essential as the final days of COP29 approach.
