As biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse threaten our planet and economic stability, this Summit (held on 7 to 8 October) gathers leaders from government, business, academia, environmental groups, and Indigenous Peoples to forge a nature positive path for the future.

Key issues that we need to progress:

  • 30x30 Target: Aiming to protect or restore 30% of our land and waters by 2030, aligned with the global Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework.
  • Nature Positive Plan: Australian Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek will outline commitments including 鈥渮ero new extinctions鈥 and reforming environmental laws.
  • Nature Repair Market: A groundbreaking initiative to create a voluntary biodiversity market where projects can generate tradable certificates, driving private investment in nature.
  • Economic Opportunities: Transitioning to a nature-positive economy could unlock $10 trillion annually and create millions of jobs by 2030, benefiting industries like agriculture and tourism.

This Summit is a critical opportunity to embrace a nature-positive mindset, emphasising collaboration across diverse sectors to reverse the decline of our natural environment.听

The time for action is now!听
