We are a team at the University of Oxford, working in collaboration with WWF to lead ‘NATURE Impacts’, a new initiative to assess national progress towards achieving the Global Biodiversity Framework’s mission for ‘halting and reversing nature loss by 2030’.

This forward-looking framework builds on existing trackers of global progress and aims to prioritise future national action to maximise impact for nature recovery. Over the longer term, it seeks to build an evidence-based, dynamic picture of opportunities to accelerate progress and increase ambition for global nature recovery. By leveraging existing datasets and engaging a broad range of stakeholders experienced with national-level conservation and contexts, ‘NATURE Impacts’ aims to evaluate national progress towards global goals whilst driving significant, effective societal outcomes.

We would be interested in leading a workshop, where we would share our vision with the global conservation community to gather feedback and help shape development of the ‘NATURE Impacts’ framework. In the session, we would introduce our proposed framework, highlighting its potential to evolve into a dynamic platform that identifies new challenges, opportunities, and solutions for positive change, and incorporates vital input from sub-national citizen groups, indigenous peoples, community groups and other key stakeholders. Participants would provide feedback on framework features, inclusivity, and engagement strategies, helping to identify gaps in commitments, ambition, and implementation, which would help inform future iterations of the framework.
