Public-private-partnerships are viewed as critical to achieving the SDGs, and to bridging an annual investment gap of $2.5 trillion to achieve them by 2030, yet we have overlooked our greatest social and economic partner: Nature itself. We try to protect nature. We try to learn from nature. But we are not actively partnering with nature. We fail to consider and utilize the operational and economic efficiency of almost $100 trillion in complementary eco-system services provided through natural capital, and over 3.8 billion years of R&D and priceless patents. The Public-Planet Partnerships (PPP) framework is a set of tools, values, case studies, technical resources and ethical dialogues that allow business, changemakers, and governments to consider new ways of working & collaborating with nature. It enables us to leverage the abundant innovations, solutions, systems and ecosystem services that natural capital has to offer through mutually beneficial partnerships with the Planet.  www.publicplanetpartnerships.com
