Nature positive outcomes & nature-based solutions

Biodiversity and ecosystems

Life is what makes this blue planet so special. But it is under threat from human impact and climate change. By halting and reversing biodiversity loss, we can help nature to recover so that thriving ecosystems and nature-based solutions continue to support future generations.

Making global ambitions on climate and nature positive action relevant to a business's value chains

In just over 40 years, global populations of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians have declined by almost 60%, while 40% of plant species are at risk of extinction.

The key drivers of this biodiversity loss include climate change, pollution, habitat destruction, invasive species, and overexploitation of the natural environment. Left unchecked, countless species will be lost forever, while taking a heavy toll on human health and well being.

According to the World Economic Forum, biodiversity loss is one of humanity’s top five threats, with $44 trillion dollars of economic value moderately or highly dependent on nature.

By taking decisive action to restore biodiversity and enable thriving ecosystems, we can help regenerate nature and habitats and leave planet Earth in a better shape for future generations.

:
Nature positive
Nature positive means enhancing and restoring the natural environment, while maintaining food and medicine supplies and raw materials for manufacturing, and building essential infrastructure such as offshore wind farms, transport routes, and urban settlements. It is about leaving nature in a better state than we found it.

:
Nature based solutions
Nature based solutions use the natural world to improve human made solutions, such as blue green infrastructure, which restores urban biodiversity whilst preventing flooding. Both require multidisciplinary skill and expertise to ensure solutions are appropriate for local conditions.
