We need a new approach to protect and restore nature at scale and deliver a Nature Positive Australia. 

At the Australian Climate and Biodiversity Foundation, we champion a future where economic prosperity and environmental protection go hand in hand. Through rigorous, evidence-based policy research, design and advocacy we find solutions that protect nature and support economic growth and jobs. 

Our mission

We believe it is time to move beyond the false dichotomy between economic prosperity and environmental protection.

Long term success depends on investing in both. 

Our mission is to bring together governments, businesses, and communities to protect and restore nature across Australia. We’re working to build a Nature-Positive Australia — one where thriving ecosystems support a stable climate, strong communities, and sustainable economic opportunities.
