🌍 At #COP16, a new blueprint for business is taking shape: nature-positive strategies. In Cali, Colombia, global leaders spotlighted the urgency of reversing biodiversity loss—an issue that now sits at the heart of business strategy as much as it does environmental policy. 🌱 With over 55% of global GDP—roughly $58 trillion—reliant on natural systems, moving towards a nature-positive economy isn’t just ethical; it's essential. At COP16, Target 15 emerged as a pivotal step, calling for mandatory biodiversity impact reporting—a game-changer for accountability and progress. As nature-based solutions rise, companies integrating these strategies will not only drive ecological restoration but also unlock up to $10 trillion in new opportunities by 2030. #NaturePositive #ClimateAction #COP16 #SustainableBusiness
