NATURE＆HUMAN POSITIVE with AI Agenda2025 Co-creating Programme
Shape New World Initiative
Hypothesis of the future in 2050: A future where nature and humans grow together with AI
“Nature Positive” is a concept that aims to eliminate the decline in biodiversity and make it even richer. In fact, making nature richer is also making us, humans, richer. We have envisioned a future where Nature Positive and Human Positive meet through AI technology from a variety of perspectives, including business, the natural environment, and cultural creation. We propose actions to help make such a future a reality.

Programme details
Despite the fact that the term “biodiversity” is becoming more widely used in the world, many people still don't really know what it refers to. However, nature-positive activities that enrich nature are also deeply connected to human-positive activities that enrich people. For example, activities that nurture nature can lead to innovative ideas, and the natural environment is closely connected to human health. Culturally, Japan has a deep-rooted spirituality of coexistence between nature and people. In this session, we will shift our thinking to consider whether we can enrich nature and enrich people by enlisting the help of AI and technology, at a time when the global environment has reached a critical point from which there is no turning back. Planners aiming to solve social issues and create future value will take the lead in proposing a vision of the future in which nature and humanity are positive, making the most of their unique methods and creativity.
