Nature
We drive nature-inclusive practices that help ecosystems and people flourish.

Business as usual is unsustainable in the face of environmental degradation trends. We work to mainstream nature-inclusive practices that connect conservation and restoration with socioeconomic prosperity, so that climate solutions benefit both people and planet.

What do we do?
Bring together impact partnerships
We establish multi-actor, impact-driven partnerships to develop, test, and scale technological, policy, financial, and market solutions.
Conceptualisation and design of impact solutions
We develop, test, and scale tailored solutions to increase the readiness of each use-case (e.g. innovation networks, transnational pilots, accelerator programmes, market readiness assessments, policy briefs, and roadmaps), while prioritising the value of natural assets and associated ecosystem services.
Communication and advocacy
We raise the profile of sustainable land and sea management solutions as win-win alternatives for nature and people, through our extensive communications expertise.
Sharing knowledge
We advance the state-of-the art and drive capacity building through peer-learning programmes and sessions. We do so by actively involving actors from across the quadruple helix (academia, private sector, public sector, and civil society) to create value from multi-actor perspectives.
