A ‘Paris Agreement for nature?

Sydney will be the host for the first Global N a t u r e P o s i t i v e Summit in early October 2024. It is is concerned with the financialisation of biodiversity ecosystems.

"The “Nature Positive” agenda promotes the financialisation of nature – that there is a monetary value to nature, that this dollar figure could define all that nature means to us, and that we can start trading plots of nature like tokens and feeding into an ecosystem service that only benefits some people, in particular economies. The decision makers for all of this would be the exact same industry players and politicians who are destroying nature for profit now."

“Nature Positive” would be a bag of tricks for them to d i s t r a c t, d e f e r , and o b s c u r e their harm for nature: “destroying your forest is okay, because we’re not destroying someone else’s.” This is not only greenwashing, it is dangerous."

"The Global Biodiversity Framework agreed to by 196 countries at the United Nations biodiversity conference last year was described as the ‘Paris agreement for nature’. It set a target of US$200 billion per year of funding to be spent on nature repair by 2030...The Summit will highlight how clear and consistent rules will enable businesses to invest in and measure projects that repair nature."

“Turning the tide like this, from nature destruction to nature repair, will require a mighty global effort, Plibersek said."

Coastal Rail Trail Draft EIR for Segments 8 and 9

The City of Santa Cruz has completed a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for Segments 8 and 9 of the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission’s 32-mile Coastal Rail Trail Project, an envisioned bicycle and pedestrian trail alongside or replacing the existing unusable railroad tracks from Davenport to Watsonville.

#BREAKING: new global agreement for nature ADOPTED!

Countries leave Montreal with an agreement that starts, at least, to heal our relationship to nature.🌱Now delivery of this agreement is key.

The nature crisis & the climate crisis are closely linked and have to be tackled, together.
Our lead biodiversity expert Eva Mayerhofer highlights the need for inclusive, #NaturePositive growth, moving away from GDP as measure of economic success.

#COP15

At the #COP15 EIB- @EUEnvironment@twitter.com event, our expert Eva Mayerhofer stressed the need to move beyond traditional economic growth metrics to achieve not only an inclusive net zero pathway, but also a soft landing for biodiversity. #ForNature #NaturePositive #GenerationRestoration

If states do not achieve their #30x30 target, they must pay the missing percentage from their #GDP to countries that exceed their targets. In that way great partnerships between economically rich and poorer countries are possible.
#COP15
We need to become #NaturePositive because we are part of Nature. If our natural environment breaks down, our highly sophisticated societies will unravel.

We will not reach a 1.5°C pathway if we do not get serious about acting #ForNature and halting and reversing #biodiversity loss.
Speaking at #COP15 finance day, VP @RicardMourinho@twitter.com highlights our commitment to scaling up #NaturePositive investments➡️https://bit.ly/3Wj4IcU
