NATURE Impacts: Assessing national progress and priorities to drive urgent, transformative change for nature

Global biodiversity goals provide a shared direction, but translating them into effective and equitable national action is complex:

What should countries prioritise to achieve the greatest and fairest outcomes for global nature recovery – and how do we know what’s working?

We’ll share progress and emerging work, including two recent outputs:

🔎 Our systematic map brings together 1,000+ resources for monitoring nature-related commitments and and contributed to the evidence base for the CBD’s global review.

💬 Our new commentary, “A Critical Year for Nature”, identifies four key needs for translating global biodiversity ambition into effective national action:

1. Independent tracking of efforts and outcomes
2. Prioritising the most impactful and fair actions, at home and overseas
3. Whole-of-society dialogue and accountability
4. Context-specific scientific insights to support action

This will frame a discussion chaired by Cecil (Max) Haverkamp, with Sarah Jones, Flavio Affinito, Luisa Forero and Neville Ash, bringing perspectives from policy, implementation, science and modelling.

Across both sessions, we’re keen to share our work and to hear from others about what is needed in practice, and how NATURE Impacts can develop into a useful, practical approach.
