Nature-based Facts & Figures
Industries that rely on nature employ around 1.2 billion people.
More than half of the world’s economic value generation is dependent on nature and its services (an estimated $44 trillion).
Nature-based services are more cost-effective than engineered solutions and have far fewer unexpected consequences.
Sustainability is a source of competitive advantage, providing benefits such as:
Decreased operational costs
Decreased organizational risk
Increased employee & citizen engagement

Retention and talent attraction
Improved public image and brand value
Be part of the Global Decade of Ecosystem Restoration
Between now and 2030, the restoration of 350 million hectares of degraded terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems could generate $9 trillion in ecosystem services.
Restoration can remove 13 to 26 gigatons of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
The economic benefits of these initiatives exceed nine times the cost of investment, whereas inaction is at least three times more costly than ecosystem restoration.
