However, there is an emerging global understanding that a focus on additional dimensions of nature is critical for businesses, both because of its linkages to climate change and because it creates new risks and opportunities. Natural carbon sinks in the land and ocean absorbed approximately 55% of annual anthropogenic carbon emissions in 2019,1 meaning business activities that degrade these ecosystems further increase the emissions reductions required to meet global ambitions.In 2024, the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report found that “environmental risks continue to dominate the risks landscape” over the short, medium and long term. The top four global risks over the next 10 years – extreme weather events, critical change to Earth systems, biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse, and natural resource shortages – are all related to nature.2 With over half of global gross domestic product (GDP) moderately or highly dependent on nature,3 we believe the private sector must unite behind a collaborative, cross-sector response to elevate the importance of nature and the challenges it presents.Alongside McKinsey Sustainability as a strategic knowledge partner, the World Economic Forum is convening CEOs from leading global companies to collectively shape the private sector’s nature agenda, elevate ambition levels and help inform public policy conversations. This initiative – as well as this report – aims to accelerate the transformation of companies’ operations and value chains, enabling new business models that are positive for both nature and business outcomes.In the spirit of collaboration and knowledge-sharing,
