"The term “nature positive” has been adopted by the Australian government as a
catch-all title and slogan for its promise to address failing national
environment laws and the country’s poor and deteriorating environmental health.
But what does it actually mean? Last week we got an answer – or at least the
first part of one – from the government’s perspective.
The environment minister, Tanya Plibersek, said the Albanese government had
created a “world first” by introducing a bill that defined the term.
It was included with legislation to create two agencies – Environment
Protection Australia (a national EPA, responsible for improving nature
protection) and Environment Information Australia (EIA, to provide data on
environmental health).
The government has also said it will host a global nature positive summit in
Sydney in October, though little has been said about who is coming or what it
might achieve."
