As the health of our planet’s critical ecosystems deteriorates, it directly impacts productivity, jobs and well-being. For business leaders and policy-makers, this is not just an issue of moral imperative but also of building resilience and future-proofing business models.

This compendium captures the latest insights and emerging trends from members of the World Economic Forum’s Champions for Nature, a community of business CEOs, government ministers and heads of international organizations dedicated to elevating ambition, leadership and action at a time when 196 countries have signed a global commitment to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.

Released to coincide with the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP16) in Colombia in October 2024, the insights in this compendium focus on opportunities for change in the following five areas:

- Policy coherence

- Sustainable land use

- Valuing natural capital

- Nature-climate nexus

- Including Indigenous Peoples
