Reflecting on the Global Nature Positive Summit 2024, it’s clear that bold collaboration and innovation are key to a sustainable future. At NatureCo, we’re proud to be at the forefront of these conversations, leading the way in creating positive change for our planet and people. Here are some of our key takeaways from the summit:
📢 Invite Indigenous voices to the table: With their deep understanding of the land and generations of environmental stewardship, Indigenous peoples and local communities play a vital role in shaping a nature-positive future. Their voices must be recognized and valued. Achieving meaningful progress depends on ensuring these communities have a seat at the decision-making table, where they are empowered to lead, share their knowledge, and drive actions that will shape a resilient future.
🌿Lean into radical collaboration for greater impact: Collaboration and strong partnerships are more important than ever. We need to recognize that we are all working towards a shared vision of a healthy planet and future for all. It’s time to recognize that progress and finding solutions will require us to join forces; to share information and lessons and build on existing knowledge and experiences – perhaps through unusual or radical partnerships – rather than replicating and competing.
🌍 Embrace the interconnection of nature and climate: The world needs to move away from the ‘climate now, nature next’ approach. Tackling climate change and nature repair together is essential. Net zero and nature-positive goals should be aligned to create a more integrated, holistic approach, leading to more effective and scalable solutions.
🤝 Build trust and impact through transparency: Open, respectful communication fosters trust, strengthens long-term partnerships, and drives lasting impact. Developing clear, consistent metrics – standardizing them where possible – is key for widespread understanding, measuring, and reporting outcomes. It’s equally important to be transparent about differing stakeholder expectations, use clear and inclusive language, and prioritize capacity building.
Through bold and collaborative partnerships, integrated action, and innovative approaches, NatureCo is creating enduring benefits for climate, nature, and people. Get in touch with us today to find out how we can work together to ensure a nature-positive future.
