Q3, 2024 ISSUE OUT NOW

Business and the natural world have sometimes seemed to be worlds apart. In an economic model driven by the pursuit of profit above all else, nature was a mere afterthought. Yet for leading organizations around the world, that one-dimensional worldview has long been obsolete. The interface between business and Earth’s complex natural systems has become a mainstream concern for businesses and investors alike.

In this issue of Dialogue we explore the unfolding nature revolution. We look at how business can become nature-positive. We consider how an improved appreciation of nature points to new opportunities for business growth, and ways for business to manage their nature-related risks. We consider the communication challenge and explore how marketers can shape new narratives that support changes in customer behavior. We consider the role of innovation in the circular economy. And we take an in-depth look at the framework developed by the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, examining how it will improve the information available to shape more sustainable business decisions.
