Open Call for Cities and Regions: Driving the Transition towards a Nature-Positive Economy – GoNaturePositive!
GoNaturePositive! is inviting cities and regions to join the Nature-Positive Pioneer Programme and explore practical approaches towards a Nature-Positive Economy. As part of this initiative, a selected group will join the Nature-Positive Pioneer Programme, engaging in learning, peer exchange and practical reflection on how nature-positive approaches can be integrated into local policies, governance and economic development strategies.
The programme will support cities and regions in exploring topics such as climate resilience, nature restoration, public procurement, financing approaches and collaboration with businesses and communities. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage with emerging self-assessment approaches and connect with a wider network of peers, practitioners and experts working on nature-positive transformation.
The call is open to cities and regions with ongoing or planned work related to nature-based solutions, biodiversity, climate resilience, public procurement or nature-positive economic transition.
