Nature-positive

Nature-positive is a concept and goal to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030, and to achieve full nature recovery by 2050.^[1] According to the World Wide Fund for Nature, the aim is to achieve this through "measurable gains in the health, abundance, diversity, and resilience of species, ecosystems, and natural processes."^[2] Progress towards this goal is generally measured from a biodiversity baseline of 2020 levels.

The nature-positive goal aligns with the 2030 mission and 2050 vision of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). However, the GBF does not explicitly mention nature positive. The goal is designed to integrate with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement's climate goals.^[2] It is distinct from other policy approaches for biodiversity loss, such as "no net loss" or "net positive impact".

Governments have committed to the nature positive goal, including the United Kingdom,^[3] Australia,^[4]^[5]^[6] and Japan.^[7]^[8] Over 90 world leaders have signed the Leaders' Pledge for Nature,^[9] which calls for a nature-positive future by 2030.^[10] A commitment to nature positive was also signed by the members of the G7 at the 47th summit in 2021^[11] and a G7 Alliance on Nature Positive Economies^[12] has since been launched.^[13]
