What does Cop15’s buzzword ‘nature positive’ mean?

A historic deal has been struck at the UN’s biodiversity
conference, Cop15, which will set a course for nature recovery from
now until 2050, including a target to protect 30% of the planet for
nature by the end of the decade. One of the key phrases guiding the
summit across the two weeks of negotiations was ‘nature positive’.
Madeleine Finlay hears from the biodiversity reporter Phoebe Weston
about what ‘nature positive’ meant at Cop15, and what she’d like to
see from countries now the final agreement has been made, and
speaks to biodiversity professor EJ Milner-Gulland about how to
stop the term ‘nature positive’ becoming another way for companies
to greenwash their businesses.. Help support our independent
