Resource description:
The purpose of the Nature Strategy Handbook is to support all businesses - whether corporates or financial institutions - to develop a nature strategy that will enable them to make a meaningful contribution towards a nature-positive world.
This Handbook forms the basis of ‘It’s Now for Nature’, a global campaign to rally all businesses to act on nature and contribute towards the mission of the Global Biodiversity Framework to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030. Businesses are encouraged to submit their strategy on the ‘It’s Now for Nature’ website. This will enable them to become part of the campaign and to join the growing number of companies who recognize they need to scale and speed up business action on nature.
The Nature Strategy Handbook builds on the ACT-D High-Level Business Actions on Nature (Assess, Commit, Transform and Disclose) to show businesses what the key components of a credible nature strategy are.
It goes into depth on each stage, providing you with a set of guiding questions, recommendations and resources for how to develop a nature strategy – whether that is as a stand-alone document or included in your business, climate or sustainability strategy.
The content has been developed to align with the requirements of current nature-related frameworks and regulations such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), the Science-based Targets Network (SBTN), NA100 and other key frameworks and disclosure requirements. It also draws on WBCSD’s Roadmaps to Nature Positive: Foundations for all businesses. By building on available resources and requirements, the Nature Strategy Handbook provides a common direction for all businesses to begin or continue their journey towards a nature-positive future by setting a strategy for nature.
