Summary
In 2021, Prince Charles of Wales announced the Terra Carta at the One Planet Summit in France – a charter that puts sustainability at the heart of the private sector. The Terra Carta aims to reunite people and planet by giving fundamental rights and value to Nature, recognizing that “the fundamental rights and value of Nature must represent a step-change in our ‘future of industry’ and ‘future of economy’ approach.” Although not legally binding, the Terra Carta provides a roadmap to 2030 for businesses to work towards a sustainable future. At the One Planet Summit in Paris, the Natural Capital Investors Alliance was created with goals to raise and invest $10 billion by 2022.
