The term ‘nature positive’ is becoming ubiquitous in the discourse around how best to achieve the systemic transformations that are needed to restore nature. But such terms can become so generic that they lead to greenwashing, and soon fall out of favor with both conservationists and wider society.

Join Professor Dame E.J. Milner-Gulland as she proposes a way forward that can support systemic transformation, defining ‘nature positivity’ with a focus on setting SMART outcome targets, quantitative baselines, and robust, transparent monitoring of progress, and highlighting where rapid progress is needed to support this operationalization, so that the term ‘nature positive’ moves from aspiration to delivery.

Webinar takeaways:

• ‘Nature positive’ is a widely used term, but poorly defined, often with little real-world impact
• Setting SMART outcome targets, quantitative baselines, and robust monitoring of progress can help organizations and governments to work towards genuine ‘nature positivity’
