Discover how the Swedish Biodiversity Symposium explored the urgent need for transformative change in transitioning from knowledge to action on nature restoration. Carlos Álvarez Pereira from the Club of Rome reveals that no country today achieves sustainable development within planetary boundaries, calling for businesses to become regenerative rather than extractive. Learn why the US ecological restoration industry now surpasses traditional steel manufacturing, demonstrating significant economic opportunities in nature-positive business models. Understand how GoNaturePositive! partners are mapping the policy-business nexus, showing that whilst emerging examples reward good ecological footprints through premium pricing, businesses cannot act alone without strong policy frameworks that embed nature into all economic decision-making and recognise biodiversity loss as material financial risk requiring systemic shifts in how finance, policy and business collaborate toward a nature-positive economy.

Discover how the NetworkNature Annual Event explores transformational pathways toward a nature-positive economy, revealing that finance determines transition speed while policy sets direction through binding restoration targets and corporate sustainability reporting. Samuel Lara examines why businesses, especially SMEs representing 99% of European enterprises, remain largely absent from nature-based solutions dialogue despite ecosystem services underpinning over half of global GDP. Learn how GoNaturePositive! partners are identifying critical barriers to implementation, from workforce transition challenges to metric reliability concerns, and why bridging the knowledge-to-practice gap through targeted capacity building, training networks, and practical tools for local governments and investors is essential for aligning economic actors with nature restoration at scale.

Discover how Voedsel Anders explores the Nature-Positive Economy's potential to reinforce the agroecological transition, introducing an economic system that contributes to net nature restoration through agriculture practices combining social and ecological aspects with food production. Douwe de Vestele examines why integrating agroecology into the NPE framework requires addressing food sovereignty, power imbalances in food systems, and recognising food as a fundamental right rather than a commodity, questioning whether all food-related enterprises should operate as not-for-profits. Learn how measuring progress toward a Nature-Positive Economy demands perspectives beyond human metrics, incorporating the viewpoint of all species whilst accounting for power relations and food autonomy, and why achieving true transformation requires active citizens who challenge hegemonic structures, hold policy accountable, and ensure governments serve the common good rather than capitalist market speculation.

Discover how GoNaturePositive! advances nature restoration through innovative metrics frameworks at the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2025, treating measurement as fundamental to unlocking biodiversity investment. Siobhan McQuaid reveals practical strategies for coordinating policy makers, financial institutions, citizens and businesses around nature-positive outcomes, leveraging whole-of-society approaches to capture actor influences beyond corporate disclosure, and how recognising disconnections between financial intermediaries and on-the-ground realities enables stakeholders to build verified investment pathways for prosperity while supporting nature-based solutions and private sector engagement across conservation communities.

Discover how ICLEI Colombia transforms urban biodiversity through the innovative Pollinators Network of the Aburrá Valley, treating nature as an equal stakeholder in economic decision-making. Tatiana Ramos reveals practical strategies for coordinating public, private, and community actors around pollinator protection, leveraging Colombia's Green Cities Law to integrate nature-based solutions into municipal planning, and how recognising ecosystem services as economic necessities enables cities to build more resilient foundations for long-term prosperity while supporting both biodiversity conservation and local economic development across metropolitan regions.

Discover how Voedsel Anders builds a transformative movement for agroecological transition in Flanders by connecting farmers, citizens, and organisations around food sovereignty principles. Douwe De Vestele shares practical insights on challenging industrial agriculture's status quo, creating economic models that reward ecosystem services, and how effective food system change emerges when ecological health combines with economic justice to create regenerative farming that benefits both rural communities and natural systems.

Discover how Etifor combines rigorous university-based science with B Corp principles to drive nature-positive forestry transformation across the entire forest value chain. Giulia Cecchinato reveals practical approaches to balancing biodiversity conservation with bioeconomy potential, implementing closer-to-nature management practices, and how comprehensive cradle-to-grave impact assessments enable forest sector companies to achieve long-term resilience while maintaining ecosystem integrity and delivering sustained economic, ecological, and social benefits for all stakeholders.

Discover how the Western Development Commission leverages €92.3 million in regional investment to support nature-positive blue economy development across Ireland's Western Region. Imelda McCarron shares practical insights on community-led innovation, bridging policy frameworks with local implementation, and how effective regional development emerges when local knowledge combines with collaborative platforms to create systemic change that benefits both coastal communities and marine ecosystems.

Discover how APT Valsugana became the first GSTC-certified sustainable tourism destination in Trentino by revolutionising decision-making processes to treat nature as an equal stakeholder. Gemma Buccella shares practical insights on cross-sector collaboration, authentic experiences and how genuine stakeholder engagement transforms tourism development from merely green activities to fundamental sustainability integration that benefits both local ecosystems and economic prosperity.

This webinar unveiled a comprehensive mapping of Europe's policy landscape, revealing both promising nature-positive elements and critical gaps in implementation. Through rigorous assessment of 60+ policy instruments and cooperative initiatives, researchers identified eight strategic interventions to embed nature within competitiveness agendas, redirect harmful subsidies, and strengthen legal obligations—demonstrating that systemic transformation requires coordinated action across policy, finance, and business sectors.
