Manhattan, NY – 21 September 2025

Nature is coming to New York

Why We Exist

THE NAT is a new convening force for Nature. Our mission is to reconnect people with nature’s awe-inspiring power. And unite people to effect real, measurable change.

THE NAT will bring together a growing community of people and groups committed to a nature-positive world, primarily aiming to galvanise the private capital needed to close the $711bn nature finance gap.

The inaugural NAT Gala in September will harness the world of culture to raise millions in philanthropy to fund critical nature restoration projects in partnership with Conservation International.

Longer term we will be an accelerator of positive action for Nature, amplifying the crucial work underway in this space globally.

A Night For Nature

On September 21 in NYC, we will celebrate the awe and wonder of the natural world and honor 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, helping scale their impact across industries. Because transforming business as usual isn’t just necessary—it’s entirely achievable.
