What if protecting our planet meant more than just slowing destruction, but actually helping nature thrive again? That’s the mission behind the Nature Positive Initiative, a global movement committed to halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030 and restoring ecosystems sustainably by 2050.
In this episode, we sit down with Marco Lambertini, the Convenor of the Nature Positive Initiative to explore the true meaning behind being "nature positive." We discuss the scale of the biodiversity crisis, the risks of greenwashing, and how organisations are collaborating to drive real, accountable progress.
Learn how science, education, and actionable policies are shaping this hopeful movement. We'll also delve into insights from the book Becoming Nature Positive, evaluate how education systems can better prepare the next generation, and share practical steps everyone can take toward a nature-positive world.
Check out the Book Becoming Nature Positive on the naturepositive.org website.
