Thank you for supporting the Make It Mandatory campaign!

You have joined over 400 businesses and financial institutions with combined revenues of more than $2 trillion from 52 countries who helped convince governments at COP15 to require all large businesses and financial institutions to assess and disclose their risks, impacts and dependencies on nature by 2030.  

Your continued support to reinforce the strong outcomes from COP15 will help ensure governments continue with the right level of ambition when developing National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans. We need businesses to continue to be part of the conversation and support with implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework.

How you can continue to support the campaign:

1. Amplify the strong outcome from COP15

We have updated the Make It Mandatory digital toolkit for you to share on your digital channels.

Please always include the #MakeItMandatory hashtag and this link: bit.ly/COP15_Target15

• Share the UPDATED campaign video which highlights the outcome on Target 15.

• Share the UPDATED static assets which reinforce the requirements on large businesses and financial institutions from COP15.

• If you want to share a quote publicly, the digital toolkit includes a template quote card for you to insert your own quote.

  We’ve also included an example social media post below, but there are lots more in the toolkit. 

  🙋📢 400+ businesses called for a ‘Paris moment’ #ForNature at #COP15.

  With the strong signal from #Target15, the real work starts now - and efforts must now focus on implementation. Businesses stand ready to support these efforts.

2. Share Business for Nature’s longer reaction to Target 15 with your network

Business for Nature has written a longer reaction: A wake-up call for businesses. Target 15 commits governments to require nature-related financial disclosure from large companies and financial institutions (link available soon). The aim of the document is to inform and update stakeholders on our assessment of the level of ambition within Target 15, what businesses can expect to happen next, and the actions business and finance can take. It builds on existing content, including our post-COP15 reaction and the Make It Mandatory report published alongside Capitals Coalition and CDP in October 2022. 

3. Continue to put mandatory assessment and disclosure on the agenda

Continue to put the topic on the agenda at events your company is participating in throughout 2023. Feel free to use and adapt any of the content in these slides developed by Business for Nature (coming soon)
