Planning for Nature and People
To build a nature-positive future, we need more than just ambition; we need a blueprint. Effective national planning is where global goals, like the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, become real action on the ground. It’s about making smart, inclusive decisions—from how we design our cities to how we manage our farmlands—to ensure that both ecosystems and communities can thrive side-by-side.
From global goals to national action
This is why "Planning for Nature and People" is a vital part of the Policy and Practice Shift. The learning journeys in this topic provide the blueprints for turning ambition into action. You’ll explore National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs)—an important policy instrument for achieving our global nature goals—and learn how to make these plans effective, equitable, and successful for all.
