Australia will host the first Global Nature Positive Summit at the International Convention Centre in Sydney on 8-10 October 2024.

Nature protection and repair is an immense job. Government funding has an important role to play. But the scale of the challenge means that governments can’t do the job alone. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework sets a target of US$200 billion funding per year to spend on nature repair by 2030.

The 2021 State of the Environment Report found a need for a significant investment in conservation and restoration to reverse the decline in Australia’s natural environment. This task will take collective action, across government, individual landholders and voluntary private sector investment.

That is why Australia will host the first Global Nature Positive Summit. It aims to boost private sector investment to protect and repair our environment.
