Driving Corporate Action for Nature

Nature is the foundation of our economies, our health, and our future. We need urgent action and robust accountability to protect and restore it.

The Accountability Accelerator strengthens the global ecosystem of networks, resources, and actors that make real change for nature possible.

Building a Thriving Ecosystem

Like a mycelial network in a forest, we deploy resources where they are needed most. We support and connect the actors driving accountability – frontline communities, NGOs, businesses, funders, governments and regulators – so the whole ecosystem thrives.

Why Nature Accountability Matters Now

The next decade will decide whether we succeed in halting nature loss. Ambition must turn into urgent action for nature, people, and the economy – with the voices of those most impacted at the centre.

This is the moment to build a global accountability ecosystem – one that enables businesses to transform, funders to drive change, and frontline communities to shape solutions. We cannot afford to slow down.

Our work

The Accountability Accelerator focuses on four core areas:

  • Grantmaking: We fund NGOs and movements that drive corporate and financial institutions to transform. Quickly, flexibly, and strategically moving resources to where they are most needed, especially in the Global South.
  • Orchestration and convening: We orchestrate and connect accountability stakeholders across nature, climate, and people to help them align resources and scale impact around the world.
  • Target validation: We host the independent validation service of the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN), helping companies set credible, science-based targets for nature.
  • Thought leadership: We provide strategic insights, shape global narratives, and support the integration of nature into financial and policy frameworks.

WHERE WE WORK

Our work is global, rooted in regions where accountability matters most. Through mapping, convening, and resourcing, we empower diverse actors to drive system-level change.

Impact In Action

Accountability comes to life through the work of our grantees. We connect the dots at the system level so they can deliver impact on the ground.
