  2. Providing standardised metadata information by all data collectors and aggregators of nature data
  3. Developing a harmonised nature data provision and usage agreements
  4. Launching a Nature Data Public Facility to provide global commons open access to a core set of decision-useful data about the state of nature
  5. Incentivise companies and financial institutions to contribute state-of-nature data they have collected into the global commons
  6. Establishing a data trust organisation to generate and redistribute funding for long-term strategic investment in state-of-nature data collection and quality enhancement initiatives
  7. Setting up an international, cross-sector initiative to develop globally applicable, science-based standards for how to measure and account for nature-related impacts and dependencies
  8. Encouraging the development of a standardised global digital protocol for sharing climate and nature-related impact and dependency data from one company to another
