Achieving nature positive: how can we scale pivotal business model and financial system transformations?


Small Room

Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership – CISL presents a Scaling up nature positive: the role of new business models and financial innovation

More businesses need to position nature at the core of their business model to achieve the scale and pace of change required by GBF targets. This required a more fundamental shift towards circular models that generate positive outcomes for nature and society alongside profit, rather than focusing on just impact reduction. This interactive session will draw on developments from the ground at COP16, as well as wider expertise, to inform a future agenda for scaling up nature positive business and finance. The focus will be on what shifts in business models and financial institutions are needed to deliver more nature positive outcomes, drawing on early research by CISL into the barriers and opportunities from this agenda.
