Help us define, measure and reach a Nature Positive Economy!

As part of the HORIZON project GoNaturePositive! we are bringing clarity to the concept of a "nature positive economy", how to measure it and how to get there. We have our first proposal for this ready and invite all experts, practitioners and generally interested people to give their opinion and share their insights in our public consultation. Share your feedback until the end of november through the website. Scroll a bit down and you'll find the survey link and our concept note in different forms, from lenghty deep-dive to a one pager with 5 key messages!

Thank you and for more info, don't hesitate to contact me!
All the best,

Many companies are already working to protect biodiversity, but these specific sector-level actions could help businesses contribute to the collective goal of halting and reversing nature loss by 2030.

Happening now: "Beyond COP28 - Advancing Biodiversity Finance for Global Climate Impact" webinar, co-hosted by the Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP) and Donor Committee for Enterprise Development (DCED).

Join to discuss the critical role of biodiversity finance in achieving essential advancements to stop and reverse the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
