Engage with the Business for Nature coalition

Business for Nature is a global coalition of 100+ partner organizations. Together, we drive credible business action and policy ambition to achieve a nature-positive economy for all by 2030. 

We work with and through our network of partners to collectively engage a wide number of businesses and financial institutions to take action and advocate for nature.  

On this page, you will find information about how you can work with relevant partner organizations across our coalition in your geography and/or sector to enhance your actions on nature. 

Why nature?  

Nature underpins our prosperity and wellbeing by providing economic value and security, supporting human development and equality and increasing our resilience to climate change. Businesses not only impact but also rely on nature for resources and ecosystem services.

Business Action Narrative – How to engage businesses

Our Business Action Narrative provides consistent messaging for talking about business action on nature to businesses. This resource has been produced by Business for Nature in collaboration with many partners. This resource will help you engage effectively with businesses on nature-related issues and topics.

Advocate for nature  

Nature-positive policies are key to accelerating business action. The Biodiversity Plan (also called the Global Biodiversity Framework, or GBF) adopted at UN Biodiversity COP15 provides a roadmap for nature action with an overall mission to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030.   

Its successful implementation at the national level is essential. Businesses have a key role to support governments and advocate for ambitious policies, legislation and regulations.   

Take action

• Endorse the COP16 Business Statement

• Sign our Nature is everyone’s business call to action

• Put nature on the agenda by supporting our policy recommendations

• Use our speaking points at key nature-related events
