Nature Positive Initiative at COP30

Join us in São Paulo and Belém, Brazil, November 2025, to learn more and engage in key conversations about how the transition to a nature-positive economy supports climate action for a people positive future.

At COP30, the Nature Positive Initiative will bring the conversation about nature and climate action to the centre of global climate negotiations. As the world gathers to accelerate the implementation of the Paris Agreement, we will highlight how achieving a nature-positive and net zero world by 2030 is essential to tackling the climate crisis and securing a sustainable future for all.

The Nature Positive Dialogues with We Don’t Have Time

In the lead-up to and during COP30, the Nature Positive Initiative is partnering with We Don’t Have Time as a media partner for a special series of ‘Nature Positive Dialogues’ – a collection of interviews and discussions with leading experts, policymakers, and practitioners attending the UNFCCC COP, and a chance for those further afield to stay up to date on the latest on the ground in climate and nature action online.

These conversations will explore the critical connections between nature and climate, showcase solutions already making an impact, and spotlight the voices driving systemic change for a nature positive transition.
