Nature Topics

Nature topics are the focus of this self-assessment, reaching beyond climate. Advancing strategies that support a nature-positive future bolster progress toward net zero carbon emissions. These actions are critical to take together to address nature and climate risks. Below are examples of how companies may impact and depend on water, oceans, land, and biodiversity:

WaterWater

  • Fresh water use and pollution (e.g., pesticides, fertilizer)
  • Dependence on quality water being available

OceansOceans

  • Ocean life removal or disturbance (e.g., fishing)
  • Plastic and chemical pollution

LandLand

  • Land conversion (e.g., deforestation) and exploitation (e.g., soil loss, chemical pollution)
  • Require land productivity (e.g., agriculture)

BiodiversityBiodiversity1

  • Natural resource extraction and impacts (e.g., pollution, invasive species)
  • Reliance on species abundance (e.g., discovery, innovation) and ecosystem services (e.g., pollination, climate stabilization)

Your company may already have goals or projects that connect to the idea of science-based targets for nature. The questions that follow will help you uncover these as well as new opportunities to make more progress.

1 Biodiversity is a characteristic of healthy ecosystems, be they on water, land, or in the ocean.
