Mapping policy and co-operative initiative landscapes for systemic change towards a Nature-Positive Economy

 

Nature is the foundation of our economies and well-being—yet it's under unprecedented threat. To reverse this trend, this report lays out a strategic roadmap for transitioning to a nature-positive economy: one that not only reduces harm, but actively restores ecosystems through forward-looking policy and business action. The report provides a baseline assessment of key EU policies and cooperative initiatives across five priority sectors, offering guidance for governments, businesses, and stakeholders ready to drive systemic change.

This report was presented in an online webinar on 26 June, organised by Ecologic Institute with the support of the University of Oxford, ICLEI Europe, and Trinity College Dublin. If you missed the session, you can watch it here.
