Towards Nature Positive for the Ocean: Pathways for Corporate Contributions

The world faces a triple challenge: halting and reversing biodiversity loss, mitigating and adapting to climate change, and addressing economic inequality. A healthy ocean is an essential part of the solution; it is home to the majority of life on Earth, is one of the world’s greatest allies against climate change, and is an engine of economic productivity. Yet the health of our ocean today is in steep decline in large part due to unsustainable industrial activity, and we are edging closer to dangerous tipping points. This poses immense risks—to people, planet, and to our collective prosperity and peace. Recovery of the ocean is possible if we act now - and companies have a key role to play in contributing to a nature-positive future.
