The report highlights the vital role of nature-based solutions (NbS) in this shift towards a nature-positive economy and to raise awareness of the increasingly important role of nature-based enterprises (NBEs) - organizations that place nature at the core of their business.
Based on extensive consultations, it profiles some of the economic activities where NBEs are engaged in the delivery of NBS – generating new jobs and skills, innovations and wider economic impacts through a nature-based approach that respects the needs of the environment and communities. It also examines some of the key issues confronting stakeholders, including ‘greenwashing’.
The report is aimed specifically at economic policymakers, but is of high relevance for policymakers across multiple domains, public sector institutions and agencies, researchers, civil society and NGO representatives, investors and financial institutions, industry and NBEs delivering NbS.
