Manhattan, NY – 20 September 2026

Nature is coming to New York

Why We Exist

THE NAT is a new global movement dedicated to championing Nature.

Our mission is to reconnect people with the awe-inspiring power of the natural world and unite them to drive real, measurable change. At the heart of our work is a bold ambition: to accelerate investment into nature at scale and speed.

We are building a growing community of individuals and organizations committed to creating a nature-positive world. Our primary focus is to mobilize private capital to help close the $711 billion nature finance gap.

In September, the inaugural NAT GALA brought together the worlds of culture and philanthropy, raising millions to fund critical nature restoration projects in partnership with Conservation International.

Looking ahead, THE NAT will serve as an accelerator for positive action, amplifying vital efforts already underway across the globe. We are developing a comprehensive roadmap of initiatives for 2026 to supercharge impact for Nature.

A Night For Nature

On September 21 in NYC, we celebrated the awe and wonder of the natural world and honored the trailblazers who continue to accelerate change at the inaugural NAT GALA.

All proceeds from the gala will go directly to the restoration of trees and seas, empowering storytellers and nature education.

Supporting and Scaling Solutions

At THE NAT, we spotlight breakthrough ideas and bold innovations that have the power to shift business behaviours towards a nature-positive future.

From regenerative materials and circular supply chains to AI-powered biodiversity tools and Indigenous-led solutions, we champion the changemakers redefining what’s possible.

Through our Solutions Series, we connect pioneering thinkers with influential platforms and invetsors, helping scale their impact across industries. Because transforming business as usual isn’t just necessary—it’s entirely achievable.
