The Future of Nature and Business, the second of three reports in the World Economic Forum’s New Nature Economy series, provides the practical insights needed to take leadership in shifting towards a much needed nature-positive economy.

As the world prepares to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting crisis, we are presented with an unprecedented clarion call, and opportunity, to change the way we eat, live, grow, build and power our lives to achieve a carbon-neutral, ‘nature-positive’ economy and halt biodiversity loss by 2030. Business as usual is no longer an option.

The report highlights the need for a fundamental transformation across three socio-economic systems, which represent over a third of the global economy and provide up to two-thirds of all jobs. These systems are: food, land and ocean use; infrastructure and the built environment; and extractives and energy. Together they drive the threats which endanger almost 80% of the total threatened and near-threatened species. These systems, therefore, have a significant opportunity and responsibility to reverse nature loss. But they also have tremendous upside benefits to gain by embracing this transformation now.

The Future of Nature and Business sets out how 15 transitions across the three systems can form the blueprint of action for nature-positive transitions which could generate up to US$10.1 trillion in annual business value and create 395 million jobs by 2030. Meno dettagli

In a world faced with increasing volatility and turbulence, business leaders find the idea of working to bolster the resilience of the economic systems in which they operate both attractive and intuitive. Yet operationalising this idea is quite difficult, especially in a way that captures the richness of perspective that resilience and complexity sciences have developed.

In a world faced with increasing volatility and turbulence, business leaders find the idea of working to bolster the resilience of the economic systems in which they operate both attractive and intuitive. Yet operationalising this idea is quite difficult, especially in a way that captures the richness of perspective that resilience and complexity sciences have developed. This article presents a simple resilience frame that can be used to move from the conceptual to the practical, while retaining as much of the richness of insight and approach developed through resilience science as possible.
