The Nature Strategy Handbook is a practical guide to support all businesses in developing a nature strategy. The Handbook builds on guidance from the ACT-D High-Level Business Actions on Nature to show the key components of a credible nature strategy, taking into account the requirements of various frameworks, guidance and regulations.
It provides a set of guiding questions, recommendations and resources for how to develop a strategy for nature – whether that is as a stand-alone document or included in your business, climate or sustainability strategy.
Using the handbook to set a credible nature strategy can help your business reduce its negative impacts on nature, boost its resilience to nature risks, access new commercial opportunities, create long-term value and strengthen your climate and sustainability goals. This in turn will help your organization make a meaningful contribution towards the global goal to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030.

Ler o manualHow was the Nature Strategy Handbook developed?
The Handbook was developed in partnership with the Business for Nature coalition organizations with PwC UK as the knowledge partner of the campaign. It builds on the best available resources to help businesses align with the level of ambition required to halt and reverse nature loss.
Throughout its development, the content was reviewed by an extensive list of partner organizations and businesses.
The Handbook’s content and the language used has been developed to be consistent with the requirements of current nature-related frameworks and regulations such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the final recommendations from the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), the Science-based Targets Network (SBTN) guidance, NA100 and others. It builds on WBCSD’s Roadmaps to Nature Positive: Foundations for all businesses.
The ‘Resources to get started’ section in the Handbook refers to specific parts of these relevant frameworks.
