Abstract: Time is running out,and there is a need for transformative change within the next ten years. Movement toward a nature-positive economy,including halving global emissions towards a net zero by 2050 is possible. Our response to climate change requires a fundamental transformation across all global food,land,and ocean systems; infrastructure and the built environment; and extractives and energy. These systems represent over a third of the global economy and provide up to two-thirds of all jobs worldwide. This is the decade for decisive action,with the Paris Agreement,the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration and SDGs as accelerators. Solutions exist. Nature is a powerful ally. We require more governments to harness its potential as a solution. The prize for change is immense,and so is the cost. We strongly believe it is possible to bring the climate within 1.5C degrees,protect nature and biodiversity,ensure healthier diets,improve food security,and strengthen rural economies. Doing so could unlock 4.5 trillion USD in new business opportunities each year by 2030
