Harnessing land and nature

To build a resilient net-zero economy, we must turn land systems from a carbon source to a carbon sink while securing an equitable, nature-positive future. Leading companies can harness natural climate solutions to cut emissions and remove carbon while also benefiting nature by building resilient and biodiverse ecosystems for generations to come.

We encourage companies to accelerate the transition to net-zero and nature-positive land and nature with one of these initiatives:

Help transform global food systems

Join companies across the entire food and agriculture value chain with the Scaling Positive Agriculture project. Since global food systems account for 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions, help accelerate innovation and develop technology, identify business opportunities for new agricultural solutions and increase value chain productivity, transparency and efficiency for key commodities like rice, livestock and soy.
