Abstract: Businesses and other organisations are increasingly making "nature positive" commitments, similar to the trend of "net-zero" carbon pledges. Such commitments are essential to meet the global goal of ensuring more nature in the world by 2030 than in 2020, with continued recovery beyond that. However, making a commitment to contribute to a nature positive future requires a nuanced understanding of the nature positive concept and how it can be delivered, both on the ground and within organisational structures. Here, we outline key considerations for making robust nature positive commitments, avoiding common pitfalls, and emphasise the importance of evidence-based, incremental approaches that build ambition over time. We provide a checklist to help organisations develop solid foundations for their contribution to a nature positive world, ensuring commitments are actionable, transparent, and beneficial for both nature and organisations themselves.
