Food System Transformation

Transformation in the agrifood sector has the potential to deliver systemic benefits for nature, people and businesses.

Nature on the Balance Sheet Initiative

There is a need for a fundamental shift in our economic system, one that integrates nature into economic and financial decisions. Nature is a critical asset for future growth, for businesses, economies, and societies at large: this recognition will drive economic stability, manage physical and transition risks, and create a new nature-based model of inclusive development.

A-Track

A-Track brings together leading thought leaders and practitioners who have been driving change in the measurement and valuation of natural capital and biodiversity in business, finance and government. Partners have led the development or implementation of guidelines and standards for measurement of nature impacts and dependencies for improved decision-making, including: biodiversity footprinting, natural capital assessment and accounting, and business models and finance that contribute to nature positive outcomes.

SUSTAIN – Strengthening Understanding and Strategies of Business to Assess and Integrate Nature

All businesses depend on healthy, biodiverse, and functioning ecosystems, either through their direct operations and through their supply chains. Actors across society must work towards enabling transformative change to shift away from negative practices and move towards a system that is nature-positive. The SUSTAIN project worked with businesses, financial institutions and regulatory bodies to help them understand how their impacts and dependencies on nature affect their operations and profits, through capacity building and the provision of tools and technical skills needed to comprehensively integrate the value of nature into their decision-making.
