How much annual business value would transitioning to a nature positive economy generate?

Nature is not just a planetary asset—it’s an economic one too. According to the World Economic Forum, transitioning to a nature-positive economy could generate up to $10.1 trillion in annual business value and create 395 million jobs globally by 2030. 1
This shift involves reimagining key systems—like food, land use, infrastructure, and energy—to work with, rather than against, the natural world. From scaling regenerative agriculture to investing in green infrastructure and circular economy models, the opportunities are both vast and vital.
As we mark Earth Day 2025 under the theme “Our Power, Our Planet,” the call to triple renewable energy generation by 2030 highlights the urgent need to align economic systems with nature.
Protecting and restoring ecosystems isn’t a cost—it’s a catalyst. One that strengthens climate resilience, supports biodiversity, and powers inclusive, sustainable growth.
