The World Economic Forum’s Nature-Positive Cities initiative, in partnership with Oliver Wyman, promotes collaboration among local governments, the private sector and civil society to bring about urban development in harmony with nature.

This collection of insights by the Global Commission on Nature-Positive Cities offers practical strategies and examples of urban interventions that have proven to have a positive impact on nature and biodiversity. These diverse perspectives and leadership experiences serve as a guide for integrating nature into urban planning, protecting ecosystems essential to urban life, and building more resilient and prosperous cities.
