A-Track conceptual framework
This report explains the Conceptual Framework for A-Track. The Framework is presented as a graphic which brings together relevant frameworks, concepts, models, initiatives, and approaches which support acceleration of nature-positive action across the private and public sectors.
Nature-positive refers to a global societal goal defined as ‘Halt and Reverse Nature Loss by 2030 on a 2020 baseline, and achieve full recovery by 2050’ . The A-Track Conceptual Framework is structured around the four key areas of action – assess, commit, transform, and disclose – required to deliver nature-positive action at scale.
