👉 The #NaturePositive Initiative was launched! We are proud to have ICLEI being part of it. Take a look: https://lnkd.in/egBsDZPJ *Today marks the launch of the Nature Positive Initiative, a collaborative effort involving 27 of the world's foremost nature conservation organisations, institutes, business leaders, and financial coalitions. Their mission is to champion the clarity and implementation of the Global Goal for Nature, particularly the concept of 'nature positive by 2030.' *'Nature positive by 2030' aims to reverse and halt biodiversity loss by 2030, measured by improvements in the health, abundance, diversity, and resilience of species, ecosystems, and natural processes compared to a 2020 baseline. This initiative builds upon the momentum generated since 2019, mirroring the significance of the 1.5C goal for climate change. *As global recognition of the importance of a nature-positive approach has grown, so has the urgency for clarity in the use of the term 'nature positive.' The initiative seeks to unite diverse stakeholders, including governments, businesses, and civil society, in a common understanding of this phrase, safeguarding its integrity. *By promoting alignment and collaboration across various sectors, the Nature Positive Initiative aims to mobilise efforts towards the ambitious goal of halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030. This objective is now widely acknowledged as pivotal not only for ecological preservation but also for addressing pressing global issues such as climate change, pandemic prevention, food security, sustainable development, and Indigenous Peoples' rights. #naturebasedsolutions #biodiversity
