About Nature-Positive Transition Pathways
28 UK businesses, trade associations and organisations have signed a statement demonstrating their support for the development of Nature-Positive Transition Pathways in the UK, coordinated by the Green Finance Institute (GFI) and WWF.
In partnership with businesses, financial institutions and the UK Government, WWF and the GFI are setting up a process to develop Nature-Positive Transition Pathways (NPPs) to guide private sector action on nature in the UK, in the same way that Net Zero Transition Pathways have guided private sector action on decarbonisation. The programme will bring together a wide range of stakeholders to ensure the pathways are science-based, representative, and robust as well as being implementable, practical, and supported by both the private sector and government.
This work builds on two former reports. In April 2024, the GFI partnered with the Universities of Oxford and Reading and UNEP-WCMC to quantify the UK’s exposure to nature risk, and the development of NPPs were a key recommendation of this report. In October 2024, WWF-UK and Aviva published a joint report calling on the UK Government to develop NPPs to deliver the UK’s nature-positive goals as set out in the Global Biodiversity Framework.
