The ‘nature-positive’ journey for business: A conceptual research agenda to guide contributions to societal biodiversity goals
Detalles
| This paper underlines that achieving a nature-positive world will require transformative changes in business. The authors argue that companies should adopt a research-based approach to avoid unintended environmental and social consequences. They propose a conceptual framework that encompasses sectoral strategies and impact measurement at various scales. They also identify priority research areas where collaboration is essential, including funding. Some key points: • Context and Objective: With the increase in biodiversity loss, companies are adopting the "nature-positive" approach to combat this loss and contribute to the recovery of nature. The article presents a conceptual framework to guide business action in this area. • Conceptual Framework: A framework is proposed that includes four key components: systemic drivers of change, strategic choices for businesses, practical implementation of these strategies, and measurement of results. • Priority Research Questions: Priority research questions are identified that require collaboration between researchers, consultants, and sustainability practitioners to guide effective and equitable actions. • Importance of Collaboration: The article underscores the need for a coordinated and collaborative approach to identify and fund priority research areas, in order to avoid unintended environmental and social consequences. This framework and research questions are designed to help companies make transformative changes to their operations and effectively contribute to global biodiversity goals. |
