Nature-Positive Economy
Our current economic models treat nature as a free and disposable input, a blind spot that creates massive long-term risk. A "nature-positive economy" flips this script. It's an economy that doesn't just protect nature—it actively restores it, treating ecosystems as essential capital and redefining prosperity to include health, resilience, and equity for all.
