  • 《正规博彩十大网站排名》为人类社会与自然的关系开辟了新的道路, 商业行动对于到2030年停止和扭转自然损失的使命至关重要.
  • 需要采取部门方法来解决经济不同部门对自然和生物多样性的影响和依赖.
  • To help accelerate the transition to a nature-positive future, 新的指导方针列出了12个部门的所有企业应采取的优先行动.

去年12月，世界朝着重新建立与自然的关系迈出了重要的一步. 在空前的生物多样性丧失和日益恶化的气候紧急情况下 Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF)去年由196个政府达成一致，列出了到2030年全世界停止和扭转自然损失所需行动的范围和规模——这一目标通常被称为“自然积极”。.

Notably, 该框架在若干目标和具体目标中强调了企业在为建设一个对自然有利的世界作出贡献方面的作用. 与此同时，越来越多的商界领袖试图全面了解这场自然危机给他们的公司带来的风险.

这些风险包括因自然和生态系统服务的丧失而导致的运营和供应链中断，以及因客户期望变化而导致的过渡风险, 投资者的压力以及与自然相关的报告和披露的新规定.

All in all, 越来越明显的是，愿意领导转型并现在就采取行动的公司将处于更好的位置，不仅可以减轻与自然相关的风险, 满足不断变化的社会期望，为即将到来的监管做好准备, but also to tap into the commercial opportunities that come from protecting and restoring nature.

Accelerating corporate action on nature

The scale of business impact on nature is clear, with the operations of four major value chains – food, energy, infrastructure, and fashion – currently driving more than 90% of man-made pressure on biodiversity.

虽然一些企业已经开始探索和减少他们对生物多样性的影响和依赖, corporate action on nature lags far behind climate action. Research shows 83%的《正规博彩十大网站排名》全球500强企业都制定了应对气候变化的目标, compared to only 5% for biodiversity loss.

没有保护，就不可能有效应对气候变化, restoring and responsibly managing our natural world.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), over the past 10 years, our planet’s oceans, flora, fauna and soils have absorbed more than 50% of human-induced carbon emissions. Studies also show that nature-based solutions can provide up to 37% of the emissions reduction needed by 2030 to keep global temperature increases under 2ºC.

Nature is our best ally against a global climate catastrophe. 现在是时候让企业采取行动，帮助建立一个既对自然有利又对净零排放的未来.

Why companies need a sector-specific approach

我们经济的所有部分都依赖于自然及其生态系统服务来继续运作. Even though every sector relies on nature throughout its value chain, 与此同时，它们继续推动着大自然的衰落.

Put simply, 如果不减少我们对自然的影响，不扭转自然的丧失，就无法实现一个对自然有利的未来. This requires a rapid transformation of our socio-economic systems.

To take nature-positive action at the scale and speed necessary, 对于企业来说，了解他们在其经营的行业背景下与自然的具体互动是至关重要的.

这将使他们能够采取最有效的步骤，尽量减少对自然的影响和依赖，并确定合作的机会, or advocate for, accelerated change.

Priority actions to transform 12 global sectors

To help inform these sectoral approaches, Business for Nature, 正规博彩十大网站和世界经济论坛, with the support of many partner organizations produced new guidance 关于公司可以为12个全球行业采取的具体行动，以改变其运营和价值链:

The 12 sectors comprise agri-food, built environment, chemicals, construction materials – cement and concrete, energy, fashion and apparel, financial services, forest products, household and personal care products, travel and tourism, waste management, and water utilities and services.

For each sector, high-level actions 已确定所有企业都可以采取，连接到全球工具，如 Science-based Target Network (SBTN) 指引及风险管理及披露架构由 Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosure (TNFD).

Examples include:

  • 能源企业可以采用循环设计，并在涡轮机中加入可回收材料.
  • 家庭和个人护理产品公司可以增加对自然意识产品和商业模式的投资, such as refillable products, waterless formulations, 以及可重复使用或耐用的产品，以尽量减少水的消耗和水系统的污染.
  • 水泥和混凝土企业可以用收集的雨水或处理过的市政用水等非淡水资源代替淡水, establish water recycling systems, 创造人工湿地，减少取水，改善水质.
  • 农业食品公司可以通过承诺和实施毁林和无转化生产和/或采购和支持农民采用可再生农业做法，避免土地和生态系统退化，并加速其再生.

建议的变革行动遵循常用的缓解层次结构，首先避免和减少对自然的压力, then restore and regenerate to recover the state of nature, 最后，改变基础系统，以解决自然损失的驱动因素.

Putting nature first benefits everyone

非常清楚的是，要促进地球的健康，确保我们所有人都有一个有复原力和可持续的未来，就必须把自然放在首位.

Nature is our best ally in helping achieve climate goals, securing a thriving economy and society, and it is the responsibility of businesses of all sizes, geographies, and sectors to play their part.

It will require investment and innovation but the sector-specific actions on nature offer a roadmap towards this transformation.
