Speakers
RIAA is partnering with Nature Positive Initiative and EY to host a dedicated film‑screening session as part of the RIAA Conference, focused on the global goal to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030. As expectations build across business, finance and policy, this session provides a timely opportunity to deepen understanding of what “nature positive” means in practice, and why it matters now for economic and financial decision‑makers. The session will feature the screening of Becoming Nature Positive, a new 30‑minute documentary created to support decision‑makers in navigating the transition towards a nature‑positive future.
Following its global première at Climate Hub Davos during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026, Becoming Nature Positive is now being screened at select high‑level events worldwide.
The film translates complex science, global agreements and policy goals into clear, usable insights for decision‑makers. Drawing on interviews with scientists, CEOs, policymakers and civil society leaders, it explores:
- Why nature loss is now a material economic and financial issue
- How nature, climate and inequality risks are deeply interconnected
- What “nature positive” means as a shared goal and transition pathway
- The concrete levers available to business, finance and policymakers today
Rather than offering a narrative of inevitability, the film focuses on choice, leadership and opportunity — and on how a nature‑positive transition can underpin resilient economies and a safe, just future.
