Nature Positive Role of the Ports Sector

The need for a sectoral approach As nature impacts and dependencies differ significantly across real economy sectors, sector- specific analyses and guidance can help companies understand their relationship with nature and the actions they can take to accelerate the transition to a nature-positive future. To inform sectoral approaches, the World Economic Forum, alongside Business for Nature and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), produced guidance on 12 global sectors as part of the initial phase of the Sector Actions Towards a Nature-Positive Future initiative. For each sector, the guidance outlines the priority actions companies should take to transform their operations and value chains to make a meaningful contribution towards the Global Biodiversity Framework and help halt and reverse nature loss by 2030. In the second phase, the World Economic Forum has conducted analysis on four additional sectors: mining and metals, automotive, offshore wind and ports. This report identifies and makes the business case for sector-specific priority actions in the port sector.ACT-D high-level business actions on nature FIGURE 4 Assess Measure, value and prioritize your impacts and dependencies on nature to ensure you are acting on the most material ones.
