Nature Positive
‘Nature Positive’ is a measurable global goal. It refers to halting and reversing biodiversity loss, through gains in the health, abundance, diversity and resilience of species, ecosystems and processes. We are calling for all to take action to support the global goal of a nature positive world by 2030, measured against a 2020 baseline.

A Youth Message to World Leaders Ahead of COP28
As the curtains rise on #COP28 today, young people are calling for action on nature. Their collective plea is crystal clear: it’s time for world leaders to pivot towards long-term nature-based solutions that will safeguard the future of our planet.
It's time to take stock of nature - GST Open Letter
The first Global Stocktake at COP28 is a vital course-correcting moment. Our open letter to Parties, signed by over 100 leaders across businesses, NGOs, IGOs, youth and IPLC groups, will be delivered to Ministers at COP 28, calling on world leaders to ensure Global Stocktake outcomes put nature at the heart of climate action. With just one month remaining until COP28, we invite you to join this group of leaders and help us bolster our efforts in advancing these critical demands.
For an equitable, Nature Positive and carbon-neutral world
Nature is in crisis, placing human and planetary health at risk. This decade must be the turning point where we recognize the value of nature, place it on the path to recovery and transform our world to one where people, economies and nature thrive. The Nature Positive Global Goal defines what is needed to halt and reverse today’s catastrophic loss of nature.

Nature Positive Pavilion @COP28
The Nature Positive Pavilion brings together a coalition of organizations committed to bringing a nature positive world to life.
Last year’s global biodiversity and climate conferences provided us with a clear signal – we must halt and reverse nature loss by 2030. We cannot reach the Paris Agreement goals without nature.
This year at COP28, the Nature Positive Pavilion will mobilise stakeholders across policy, business, science and civil society to put nature at the heart of the negotiations.
We are almost halfway through the decisive decade – it’s time to pick up the pace and turn words into action.
Our 3 key asks:
Companies and governments must end deforestation, as already committed to in the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration. We can cease the degradation of land, wetlands and the ocean, and restore what has been lost, by addressing the key drivers of nature loss such as industrial agriculture. Businesses have a major role to play and should remain accountable by assessing and disclosing their nature-related risks by 2030, as well as investing in natural climate solutions that protect, manage and restore nature.
Governments must urgently secure the tenure and protection of the territories of Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Parties at COP28 must fully recognise their role as stewards of nature as well as their right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent. Provide direct public financing for their stewardship of critical ecosystems and facilitate the provision of private sector investment.
Public and private investments that destroy natural ecosystems, including taxpayer-funded subsidies, must end. Financial mechanisms, such as the VCM, should promote a just transition and align with the level of ambition required to meet the Paris Agreement and halt and reverse nature loss by 2030.
