Nature Positive Initiative

The Nature Positive Initiative gathers some of the world’s largest sustainable business and finance coalitions; standards, disclosure and targets frameworks; global conservation organizations; and science, subnational governance and Indigenous knowledge networks, to drive alignment around use of the term ‘nature positive’ and support broader, longer-term efforts to deliver nature-positive outcomes. The Initiative is the second phase of work that commenced in 2019, with the development of nature positive by 2030 as the global goal for nature – equivalent to the 1.5C goal that exists for climate. In December 2022, this ambition level was codified in the mission of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, committing the world to halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030.
