"Have you heard the phrase “nature positive”? It’s suddenly everywhere.

The idea is simple: rather than continually erode the natural world, nature
positive envisions a future with more nature than we have now.

Created by an environmental alliance, the nature positive concept has been
embraced by industry, world leaders and conservationists.

Sudden popularity can be reason for caution. After all, we’ve seen
well-intended ideas become cover for greenwashing before. And without strong
guardrails, we risk nature positive being used as a distraction from continued
failures.

Our new research points to three ways to make sure nature positive is truly
positive for nature."
