Global Canopy releases The Little Book of Nature Business – An investment framework for tomorrow’s world

Published on March 2, 2026

Investment and business opportunities that can benefit nature have been wrongly typecast as limited to “bees, trees and farmers”. Global Canopy’s new book, The Little Book of Nature Business, busts that myth by showcasing nature innovations spanning eight economic sectors – including food, construction, utilities and extractives – with potential to scale and support the global transition toward a US$10tn nature-positive economy.

The Little Book of Nature Business offers investors, lenders, businesses and policymakers a simple inspirational guide to investing in the transition.
