About the project
The purpose of this form is to gather feedback on the Framing of a Nature-Positive Economy (NPE). We propose a preliminary definition and framing in this consultation. Feedback from stakeholders will inform the development of our revised and final conceptual framework for the NPE, which will inform the scope and content for future policy, strategy, and practice.
This consultation is undertaken within GoNaturePositive!, a research project funded by the European Union (Grant Agreement No. 101135264). Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Commission. Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.

Question Title

* 1. Which stakeholder group do you identify most strongly with?

Question Title

* 2. What is your Nationality?

Question Title

* 3. What gender do you identify with?

Question Title

* 4. We suggest:

"A Nature-Positive Economy (NPE) means that the net results of all economic activities combined, leads to an absolute increase in nature towards full recovery."
*According to the Nature Positive Initiative, ‘Full recovery of nature’ means more nature in the world in 2030 than in 2020, followed by continued recovery.

Do you agree or disagree with this proposed definition?

Question Title

* 5. Based on this definition of a Nature-Positive Economy in question 4 above:

This means that some nature-negative economic activities may still occur as long as the combined outcome overall is nature positive.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Question Title

* 6. For a Nature-Positive Economy to operate, this means that​ businesses, governments, and other ACTORS take ACTIONS ​ across multiple SCALES and SECTORS, aligning with SOCIETAL FACTORS to improve social-ecological well-being and equity​.

Do you agree?

Question Title

* 7.
Operationalising the Nature-Positive Economy means taking actions to
(1) reduce negative impacts on nature such as identifying and reforming environmentally-harmful policies, subsidies​ and activities;
(2) increase positive actions such as putting in place policies, subsidies and finance to support nature restoration and regeneration; investing in nature-based solutions and enterprises and
(3) transformative change towards full recovery on a societal scale such as long-term actions towards systems-wide change​ including better approaches for valuing nature and measuring progress beyond GDP.

Do you agree?

Question Title

* 8. We suggest that new opportunities will emerge as part of the transition to a nature-positive economy e.g., in the area of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and Nature-based Enterprises (NbE) in fields such as regenerative agriculture, ecosystem restoration and urban greening.
Do you agree?

Question Title

* 9. How do we measure a successful nature-positive economy?

What kind of indicators would you suggest we use to measure this success?

Question Title

* 10. Whole of Society Engagement

"A Nature-Positive Economy must respect the rights of all, especially those closest to nature like farmers, indigenous people and local communities. All voices should be included in the decision making process.

Do you agree?

Question Title

* 11. Actors in a nature-positive economy include:

- Policy-makers and governments,
- Businesses including small and medium-sized enterprises, nature-based enterprises,
- Finance and investors,
- Standards Bodies,
- Environmental NGOs,
- Researchers
- Citizens and civil society groups with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs), youth

Have we identified all of the key actors in the NPE?

Question Title

* 12. Scales of the NPE
We suggest a nature-positive economy operates at global, regional, national and local scales.

With a temporal scale, we emphasise the NPE as a transitional economy to a point of nature recovery, not an indefinite state for the economy.

Is this appropriate?

Question Title

* 13. Sectors of the NPE

We describe the need to:
1. Reduce negative impacts of all sectors on nature
2. Increase sectors with a positive impact on nature (e.g. regenerative agriculture/forestry/blue economy, Nature-based Solutions)

Do you agree?

Question Title

* 14. Is there anything else you’d like to share about the concept of a Nature-Positive Economy?
