Nature

The global economy is a subsidiary of nature, as the natural world provides all raw materials and life-sustaining ecosystem services. Yet, global progress on tackling nature loss remains significantly off track and key tipping points are now being reached. Business has a unique but rapidly closing window of opportunity for action over the course of the next decade. Momentum is building for business to step up and scale up actions and commitments to contribute to the Global Goal for Nature: Zero net loss of nature from 2020, net positive by 2030, and full recovery by 2050. The Nature program area brings together all WBCSD work on protecting and sustainably managing ecosystems and builds on over 20 years of WBCSD and member experience in business and biodiversity and corporate ecosystem service assessment and valuation.
