Resource description:
This paper outlines how the natural capital approach can help drive a paradigm shift in how we think, measure and make decisions about nature and how a rapid mindset shift that values nature in financial accounting, is helping to steer investments towards more resilient and resource-efficient models.

Synthesizing insights from over three decades of work in the global natural capital discourse, the paper offers insights to support decision-makers seeking to navigate the increasingly complex and interconnected challenges of the 21st century. It also seeks to inform the global community of key areas for future progress, building on renewed global momentum for the Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) after a vibrant COP16 in Colombia in October 2024. This momentum will now prove critical to carry the agenda through global headwinds buffeting both climate and nature action.
