What is “Nature Positive”?

Executive Overview

• Australia is playing a key role in the nature positive initiative

• Nature Positive is held up by the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework with 4 goals to be achieved by 2050

• Land Insight has introduced data to identify and understand biodiversity risks, supporting Nature Positive practices

Goals from the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework 

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework outlines four long-term goals to be achieved by 2050: 

• Goal A: Protect and Restore - The integrity, connectivity and resilience of all ecosystems are maintained, enhanced, or restored, substantially increasing the area of natural ecosystems. Halt human-induced extinction of known threatened species and reduce the extinction rate and risk of all species tenfold. 

• Goal B: Prosper with Nature - Ensure biodiversity is sustainably used and managed, and nature’s contributions to people are valued, maintained, and enhanced. 

• Goal C: Share Benefits Fairly - Fairly and equitably share the benefits from the utilization of genetic resources and traditional knowledge, contributing to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. 

• Goal D: Invest and Collaborate - Secure adequate means of implementation, including financial resources and capacity-building, to fully implement the framework and close the biodiversity finance gap. 

Australian Context 

Australia is playing a significant role in the global nature positive movement. The country hosted the world’s first Global Nature Positive Summit, highlighting its commitment to biodiversity and ecosystem restoration, which Land Insight had the privilege of being invited to.  

Australia’s unique biodiversity, including its diverse range of flora and fauna, makes it a critical player in a nature positive initiative. The Australian government has developed a Nature Positive Plan to help deliver on the ambitious targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. This plan includes measures to protect 30% of land and ocean by 2030, also known as “Achieving 30 by 30” to halt and reverse nature loss. 

How Land Insight is implementing Nature Positive Practices 

The data compiled by Land Insight plays a vital role in understanding and addressing biodiversity risks. Accurate and up-to-date information on endangered species and conservation areas helps in formulating targeted strategies for preservation and restoration. This approach aligns with the summit’s goals of fostering investment in nature and strengthening activities to protect and repair our environment. This information is vital in mandatory and voluntary reporting frameworks such as the Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TFND) and obligations under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.

Looking Ahead 

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework underscores the importance of collective action, global goals for nature and the need for significant investment in nature-based solutions.  

Land Insight remains committed to contributing to these efforts through its data-driven approach and collaboration with various stakeholders. Together, we can make meaningful strides towards a nature-positive future.
