Infrastructure, food systems, and natural ecosystems are all affected by climate change, reinforcing the need to further develop nature-based solutions as part of an integrated approach. Nature loss impacts 75% of the Earth’s land and poses significant economic risks, yet transitioning to nature- positive business models could unlock $10 trillion annually by 2030. The tradeoff between protecting the environment and pursuing economic growth is not inevitable, rather, resilient ecosystems enable long-term economic and social opportunity and stability. Investing in regenerative, circular and inclusive systems of production and consumption can ensure that growth remains within planetary boundaries.

In this context, it’s crucial for businesses, governments, and civil society to work together to find common solutions and take decisive action. Through its Centres, the World Economic Forum integrates public-private efforts to achieve greater impact.
