A-Track is a four-year, EU Horizon project that will accelerate action for nature by business, financial institutions and government.
As a partner in A-Track, we are working with the consortium to accelerate the use of nature information in decision making across Europe.
One of the main programs of work is called ‘Embed nature’ and it’s designed to help:
- embed nature in business decisions
- turn strategy into action
- build internal capability
- make nature a driver of value.
Here are some updates from Embed Nature to help build capacity in your organisation.
Building narratives through nature data
A-Track has released a new handbook, titled Building narratives through nature data. It’s aimed at sustainability professionals and provides guidance on using spatial datasets and metrics to assess nature and inform decision making. The handbook:
- focuses on location-specific decision-making to address impacts and dependencies on nature
- emphasizes the importance of understanding social context and risks to vulnerable groups
- aligns with frameworks like TNFD and ESRS for assessing nature-related issues.
You can download the handbook here.
Free, online webinars
A-Track is running a series of free, online webinars to help you work out how to embed nature in your decision-making. They have targeted the events at people with different levels of experience and in different time zones to make sure as many people as possible can attend. The topics include:
- location focused decision-making
- putting nature on the balance sheet
