Nature Positive by 2030: Eco-friendly Infrastructure

Nature Positive by 2030

Eco-friendly Infrastructure

• Key goal: Ensure that 100% of new infrastructure investments are aligned with nature-positive outcomes
• Strategies:
  • Incorporate natural habitats and ecosystems into urban planning
  • Design and build infrastructure that minimizes environmental impact (e.g., green roofs, green spaces)
  • Promote sustainable transportation systems (e.g., electric vehicles, public transportation)
  • Implement green infrastructure (e.g., green walls, urban forests) to mitigate urban heat islands

Ecosystem Restoration

• Key goal: Restore 30% of degraded ecosystems and habitats by 2030
• Strategies:
  • Identify and prioritize degraded ecosystems for restoration
  • Implement conservation efforts (e.g., habitat protection, species reintroduction)
  • Engage local communities in restoration efforts and promote ecosystem-based livelihoods
  • Restore natural habitats and ecosystems to support biodiversity and ecosystem services

Sustainable Agriculture

• Key goal: Ensure that 50% of agricultural production is sustainable and nature-positive by 2030
• Strategies:
  • Promote agroecological practices (e.g., regenerative agriculture, permaculture)
  • Implement sustainable agriculture policies and incentives
  • Increase the use of organic and nature-based fertilizers and pest control methods
  • Support small-scale, local farmers and promote sustainable agriculture value chains

Climate Change Mitigation

• Key goal: Limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2030
• Strategies:
  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, infrastructure, and ecosystem degradation
  • Promote nature-based solutions (e.g., reforestation, wetland restoration) to sequester carbon
  • Implement climate-resilient agriculture practices and support climate-resilient infrastructure
  • Encourage sustainable land use and forest conservation practices to mitigate climate change
