Portfolio approach
▾
Bend the curve of nature loss by simultaneously focusing on restoration, climate mitigation, sustainable production, and consumption reduction.
Economic reform
▾
Abolish $500 billion annually in harmful subsidies and internalize external environmental costs via accounting systems like SEEA.
Food transformation
▾
Reduce the pressure on land and water by halving food waste and encouraging a shift towards more plant-based diets.
Area-specific agriculture
▾
Redesign agricultural systems via agroecology and balance intensification (land sparing) with nature-inclusivity (land sharing) per region.
Strategic protection
▾
Focus 30x30 targets on Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) and formally recognize sustainable agricultural systems as Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs).
Indigenous rights and One Health
▾
Safeguard the land rights of Indigenous peoples and link ecosystem management directly to human health to prevent pandemics.
Integral governance
▾
Apply a whole-of-government approach and force companies to be fully transparent about their risks and dependencies on nature.
Value shift
▾
Use education to shift societal norms away from material consumption towards acknowledging the interconnectedness between humans and nature.
