This document is a business briefing that examines the concept of nature positive aligned business models, highlighting their significance in addressing the challenges posed by nature degradation to global economies. It outlines the necessity for businesses to adopt new models that not only mitigate harm to nature but also actively contribute to its restoration. The briefing is based on a research report titled 'Better business: Re-thinking business models for nature positive outcomes,' part of the A-Track project, which aims to facilitate the transition towards a nature positive economy. The document details the objectives of the A-Track project, which include identifying and piloting archetypes for new business models that align with national and global nature objectives. It also discusses the barriers to adopting these models and the importance of a collaborative approach involving businesses, financial institutions, and policymakers to mainstream nature positive practices. The briefing emphasizes the need for structural changes in market economies to support the integration of nature positive principles into business operations.
