Film Screening: Becoming Nature Positive

Bentley Systems UK Ltd, 43rd, 6-8 Bishopsgate, London, EC2N 4BQ

About this Event

Nature loss is increasingly recognised as one of the defining risks of our time, with profound implications for infrastructure systems, economic resilience and human wellbeing. As the engineering and infrastructure professions confront the interconnected climate and biodiversity crises, there is growing recognition that future infrastructure systems must not only minimise environmental harm, but actively contribute to restoring and regenerating nature.

Convened by the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI), this event will feature a screening of Becoming Nature Positive, a new 30-minute documentary created by the Nature Positive Initiative and Open Planet Studios. The film explores what the global ‘nature positive’ goal means in practice and why it matters now for business, policy, finance and society. Through perspectives from global leaders across science, industry, civil society and policy, the film highlights the choices facing decision-makers today and the opportunities presented by a nature-positive transition.

Following the screening, ICSI will convene a panel discussion, bringing together experts from industry, civil society and academia to explore what a shift towards a nature-positive mindset means for the engineering and infrastructure professions. The discussion will consider how infrastructure planning, design, finance and governance can better align with ecological resilience, and how practitioners can help accelerate a just and sustainable transition.

The session aims to foster dialogue across sectors and disciplines, helping to build a shared understanding of the role engineering can play in halting and reversing nature loss while delivering resilient, inclusive and future-ready infrastructure systems.

The event will be hosted by Bentley Systems.

Speakers to be announced soon!

The International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure

The International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI) is the global movement for engineering action on infrastructure sustainability, resilience, and climate change. Founded in 2019, ICSI brings together change agents from across the engineering, finance, academic, policy, and philanthropic communities to solve the systemic problems that exist at the intersection of climate change, ecosystem degradation, ageing infrastructure, and underinvestment.

ICSI works to accelerate the innovation, adoption, and scaling of people-centred, nature-positive infrastructure solutions that support sustainable development. By placing engineers at the forefront of climate action, ICSI connects practical expertise with urgent global needs, developing and scaling solutions that deliver real-world impact where it matters most.
