Building the Future of the Nature-Based Economy
Convening a select group of global leaders.
From government, finance, philanthropy, business, and civil society — to advance partnerships that strengthen resilience, unlock opportunity, and build a more prosperous future through the nature-based economy.
Building a global platform for the nature-based economy
Since its launch in 2025, the Nature Summit Series has evolved into a growing global platform that convenes leaders at the intersection of climate, biodiversity, land, oceans, finance, technology, and sustainable development.
The inaugural Nature Summit convened leaders from government, finance, philanthropy, business, and civil society to explore how the nature-based economy can accelerate climate resilience, sustainable development, and economic opportunity.
Building on the momentum of the inaugural summit, leaders gathered to explore how biodiversity can be recognized, valued, and integrated into strategies for investment, conservation, and long-term prosperity.
The third chapter focused on land restoration, food security, resilience, and sustainable development—bringing together leaders committed to advancing practical solutions for communities and ecosystems worldwide.
The Nature Summit expanded beyond multilateral negotiations, engaging investors, innovators, government leaders, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists around emerging opportunities within the nature-based economy.

You are hereNature is the greatest economic opportunity of the 21st century.
For generations, economic growth has largely been built upon the extraction of nature. The emerging nature-based economy offers a different path—one that recognizes the immense value generated by healthy oceans, thriving forests, productive landscapes, and resilient ecosystems.
These living systems regulate climate, support global commerce, strengthen food and water security, reduce disaster risk, and sustain billions of livelihoods around the world.
They are economic assets.
By aligning capital, innovation, technology, and governance around the value of living systems, governments and investors have an unprecedented opportunity to unlock sustainable growth, strengthen resilience, and create prosperity.
