Imagine if businesses were paid to heal the earth instead of just doing less harm. This work creates a guidebook for companies to actually improve nature while making a profit. It's like moving from a 'do no harm' rule to a 'make it better' strategy for the planet.
Current economic systems ignore the value of nature, leading to a loss of biodiversity that costs the global economy 10% of its annual gross product. Businesses lack a clear guide on how to transition to a model that restores nature while remaining profitable.
A conceptual guide for a nature-positive economy, a policy roadmap, and six real-world pilots in sectors like the Blue Economy and Agri-Food.
If you are a honey producer dealing with declining pollinator populations — this project developed pilot demonstrations that show how nature-positive practices can reduce business risk and attract nature-sensitive investors.
If you are a tourism operator dealing with degraded local landscapes — this project developed blueprints for solutions to roadblocks that help you generate multiple benefits for people and the planet.
If you are a forestry firm dealing with strict environmental regulations — this project developed a roadmap for governance pathways that helps you scale your impact and attract new capital.
Based on available project data, specific costs for implementation are not provided; the project focuses on creating the conceptual and governance pathways to make these models viable.
Yes, the project specifically focuses on capacity building measures to help nature-based enterprises scale for maximum impact across five European and one Global Pilot.
Based on available project data, there is no mention of specific patents or licenses, but the project delivers blueprints for solutions and a conceptual roadmap.
The project provides a roadmap proposing policy and governance pathways to clarify the regulatory conditions needed for business scale-up.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2027-12-31, with initial research and stakeholder engagement occurring in the first 18 months.
The consortium is highly diverse, consisting of 23 partners across 15 countries. It features a strong lean toward implementation and research with 9 SMEs and 7 research organizations, meaning the project is well-positioned to bridge the gap between academic theory and small-business reality. With a 17% industry ratio, the focus is heavily on the 'Nature-Based Enterprise' (SME) segment rather than large corporate industrialism.
