Leading scientists are calling for more action to address climate change and nature loss – a planet-forward strategy connects nature and climate for a solution that is set up to drive greater progress.

Businesses have a key role to play in reversing nature loss, protecting biodiversity, and preserving species. We cannot solve the climate crisis without recognizing the significant role nature plays in capturing and storing CO2 from the atmosphere through its ecosystems, on land, and in our oceans.

Companies are increasing the diversity of foods used to not just deliver flavor and a unique sales angle, but to also support more resilient and sustainable production. 

Now is the time for setting goals with impact.  We learned that the incremental goals from the past led to limited progress.  Real transformational change is required to tackle issues such as climate change, water risk, and biodiversity loss, among others.  Companies need to have their next generation of sustainability goals be bigger and bolder. 

Pioneering farmers and ranchers are finding that the strategic combination of regenerative farming practices deliver important benefits such as rebuilding soil, replenishing water, restoring biodiversity, revitalizing rural communities, and increasing profitability. 

Two positive trends in product sustainability and a recent report highlighting species loss prompt us to look at how companies consider the impacts of their own activities on biodiversity.
