The Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme: How it all works
You want to take credible action for nature?
Pull up a seat!
Welcome to the Discovery Track.
The Discovery Track is the gateway to the Nature Strategy Accelerator Programme and is all about broadening your understanding of the biodiversity crisis and the context of your business or sector.
We’ll introduce you to the ACT-D framework, a logical approach to assessing your nature-related issues and creating a nature strategy. The ACT-D framework aligns with TNFD and CSRD.
We will also cover other relevant themes and emerging biodiversity topics as they relate to business. You can stay on the Discovery Track for as long as you need and there will be no fee.
Commitments and action on nature can be driven by employees but ultimately must be supported by the business decision-makers, so we have developed a Biodiversity Commitment which must be signed by a member of the organisations senior executive team. This is your key to accessing the next phase of the journey, The Action Track.
Once you level up from the Discovery Track, an annual fee will be applicable. Tracks 2, 3 and 4 have associated fees. The fees are aligned with grants that are available from your Local Enterprise Office, Enterprise Ireland, Údarás or the IDA. Fees are paid annually and grant-writing support is available. The annual fee is the same, regardless of the track (2, 3 or 4) that you sit in and you can move through these tracks at your own pace.
