In my role as Chair of the Premier’s Climate Change Council, I joined Deputy Premier Dr Susan Close at the inaugural Global Nature Positive Summit 2024 in Sydney today. With economic growth gained at the expense of biodiversity loss fast becoming an unsustainable business model, ‘nature positive’ describes stopping biodiversity loss and restoring nature to pre 2020 levels by 2030, with the objective of ongoing ecosystem recovery by 2050. As Australia continues to build prosperity, the end goal is for natural capital to also be factored into national economic measures. #PremiersClimateChangeCouncil #GlobalNaturePositiveSummit #SouthAustralia
