Summary

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