Nature economy

Unlocking the power of nature to drive economic and social transformation 

Nature underpins the foundation of our economies and provides resources essential to livelihoods, food security and sustainable development.  

Nature's decline is at a historic high, with species disappearing 10 to 100 times faster than in the past 10 million years. A nature economy recognizes that nature’s contributions to people – like clean water and healthy soils – support all life on Earth and is inextricably tied to economic activity. We need to ensure that the value of nature is recognized, demonstrated and captured in economic decision-making at all levels.
