Nature risks are now too big to ignore. The data is clear that nature loss presents a material and systemic threat to economies and businesses across all markets. As a result, policy and regulatory risks, physical and operational risks, reputational risks and legal risks are accelerating faster than many businesses are prepared for.

In the run up to COP30, a group of nature-related investor stewardship initiatives and some of the world‚'s largest investors including PRI‚'s Spring, WWF, FAIRR, NA100, FSDA, IPDD, Generation Investment Management, Storebrand, have come together to produce a briefing pack to help investors navigate this new moment on nature. The pack is designed to:

• Set out a common story of momentum and a unified argument for investor and, in tandem, corporate action on nature.
• Raise the profile of the issue and help investors to get ahead of the risks and seize the opportunity associated with the transition to a nature positive, net zero, just world.
• Demonstrate increasing focus and alignment of investor expectations on nature and what that means for corporate action in 2024.

World Wildlife Fund has a long history of both launching and participating in multistakeholder and precompetitive platforms. In this paper we have distilled common themes and lessons about what has worked well, what hasn‚'t, and other opportunities related to such groups. By drawing these themes together, existing and new platforms can learn from one another to work more effectively to achieve the results they seek at speed and scale.
