People both depend on and impact nature. Our societies and economies are built on the foundations of nature's contributions to people at local and global scales. Thriving nature also has intrinsic value. Reflecting on the importance of healthy ecosystems, our strategy for 2026-2029 focuses on catalyzing action to achieve the ambitions of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) and its 2050 vision of living in harmony with nature.

Our areas of focus in delivering impacts for nature and people are: 

  • Conservation 

  • Nature-based Solutions 

  • Nature Economy 

  • Science 

  • Policy Support 

  • Digital Transformation
