WWF aims to drive transformational change in the shipping sector by influencing shipping companies, financial institutions, and policymakers to adopt sustainable practices. The strategy focuses on the mitigation hierarchy to address issues such as marine mammal strikes, noise disturbance, and air and water pollution. Specific regional priorities include the Arctic, where decreasing sea ice has increased shipping traffic, and the Eastern Pacific, where WWF promotes vessel traffic management measures like Blue Corridors to protect biodiversity and the Galapagos archipelago.

The report identifies 1.7 million km² of potentially suitable tiger habitat across 15 countries, representing a >250% increase over the current range. It argues that range recovery is feasible through natural dispersal—as 50% of these areas are within 100km of existing populations—and planned reintroductions, provided there is strong political will, community support, and prey restoration.

The WWF-US Oceans strategy aims to achieve nature-positive seascapes and sustainable blue economies by 2030. The approach integrates place-based conservation, the deployment of nature-based solutions for climate resilience, and the use of blue finance to shift capital away from harmful activities. Additionally, the 'Oceans Futures' initiative addresses the nexus of ocean health and geopolitical stability through predictive analytics and conflict resolution to prevent unsustainable resource extraction.

The document argues that high-impact hydropower is incompatible with nature-positive goals due to its role in the 84% collapse of freshwater species populations since 1970 and its tendency to cause human rights abuses. It positions insurers as key facilitators of the sector, as private companies often cannot build or invest in projects without insurance. The guide recommends that insurers adopt specific ESG policies, decline cover for projects in protected areas, and require independent impact assessments and greenhouse gas emission calculations. It also highlights that climate change increases the risk to hydropower, with 61% of existing and planned projects projected to be in river basins with high risk of floods or droughts by 2050.

The fact sheet defines 'nature-positive' as halting and reversing nature loss from 2020 levels by 2030. It argues that shifting to sustainable business models can unlock US$10.1 trillion in annual opportunities by 2030. WWF focuses on four key sectors: seafood, where it partners with nearly 80 companies covering 30% of global wild capture harvest; marine renewables, which are essential for decarbonization but must protect habitats; shipping, which handles 90% of world trade but threatens marine mammals; and coastal development, which often degrades ecosystems. The approach combines nature-positive strategies with blue financing to shift capital away from harmful activities toward sustainable pathways.

The WWF-US Oceans team aims to establish nature-positive seascapes by integrating science-based design, community-led management, and innovative blue finance. The strategy focuses on climate adaptation and resilience, targeting the recovery of marine resources and the security of 100 million people by 2030. Key interventions include the use of nature-based solutions—specifically prioritizing mangroves, fish, seaweed, and aquaculture—and the development of blended finance mechanisms like a Fishery Improvement Fund to ensure long-term sustainability.

The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the Jomotsangkha Wildlife Sanctuary (JWS) outlines the safeguards and mitigation strategies for the 2022 implementation of the Bhutan for Life (BFL) project. The primary activity for 2022 is the establishment of a community nursery for the medicinal plant Paris polyphylla in Deptsang, budgeted at Nu. 700,000. The plan identifies potential minor impacts, such as waste generation and site digging, and mandates mitigation measures including proper waste disposal and landscaping. The ESMP integrates both Royal Government of Bhutan (RGoB) laws and WWF's Social Safeguards Integrated Policies and Procedures (SIPP), with the latter prevailing in cases of discrepancy, particularly regarding non-title land users and community consultation. Implementation is managed by the BFL focal person in JWS, with monitoring conducted through weekly field visits and semi-annual reports. The document also includes comprehensive occupational health and safety (OHS) standards and worker accommodation guidelines.

The document introduces the 'Systems Journey,' a three-phase iterative process (Engage, Explore, Learn) designed to move beyond linear thinking in conservation and sustainability work. It outlines eight core principles for systemic change and provides a toolkit of 11 practical methods—such as Systems Mapping, the Iceberg Model, and Scenario Planning—to help navigators identify leverage points and develop adaptive theories of action. The guide emphasizes the importance of co-creation, acknowledging power dynamics, and embracing a 'safe-to-fail' experimental mindset to achieve long-term structural transformation.

The Living Planet Report 2022 documents a severe decline in global wildlife populations and emphasizes the interlinked nature of the biodiversity and climate crises. It advocates for a global 'nature-positive' goal by 2030, requiring transformative shifts in economic systems, production, and consumption to move beyond current conservation efforts and address the root drivers of environmental degradation.

The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for Biological Corridor 4 (BC 4) in Bhutan outlines the safeguards and mitigation measures for ecotourism development at Zarkabla in 2022. The project, part of the broader 'Bhutan for Life' (BFL) initiative, focuses on creating a high-end recreational fishing product along the Drangmechu River. Planned activities include constructing two toilet/bathroom units, establishing a drinking water supply, and clearing a camping site, with a total budget of Nu. 0.650 million. The ESMP identifies potential risks such as workers' health and safety, waste management, and illegal fishing, prescribing specific mitigation actions and monitoring schedules to ensure compliance with both Royal Government of Bhutan (RGoB) laws and WWF's Social Safeguards Integrated Policies and Procedures (SIPP).

The ESMP for Biological Corridor 7 (BC 7) outlines the environmental and social safeguards for the maintenance of a Beat office and Checkpost in 2022. It identifies the corridor's biodiversity, including 26 mammal and 162 bird species, and sets specific mitigation measures for waste management, water quality, and worker health and safety. The plan mandates compliance with WWF's Social Safeguards Integrated Policies and Procedures and national laws, ensuring local community engagement and strict occupational health and safety standards.

The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for Biological Corridor 5 (BC5) in Bhutan outlines mitigation strategies for two specific 2022 activities: the construction of a retaining wall in Pema Gatshel and an electric fence at Choegar Dhuedhuel Phodrang Monastery. The plan ensures compliance with both Royal Government of Bhutan (RGoB) laws and WWF's Social Safeguards Integrated Policies and Procedures (SIPP), with the latter prevailing in cases of discrepancy regarding land use rights and community consultation. It details baseline environmental conditions of BC5, which is primarily tropical broad-leaved forest, and provides comprehensive occupational health and safety (OHS) standards for workers.

WWF's Oceans Futures initiative addresses the intersection of climate change, ocean health, and security. The program focuses on predicting fisheries-related conflict hot spots and supporting maritime enforcement agencies, such as the UNODC, with science-driven data to reduce illegal fishing and societal instability.

The 2022 ESMP for Phrumsengla National Park (PNP) outlines the environmental and social safeguards for four planned activities: staff quarter maintenance, Trans-Bhutan Trail (TBT) maintenance, campsite construction at Gayzamchu, and solar/electric fencing installation. The plan identifies potential risks such as waste generation, noise pollution, and worker health and safety, providing specific mitigation measures and monitoring protocols. It also details the park's ecological baseline, including its role as a 'linchpin' of Bhutan's Biological Corridor Complex and its habitat for endangered species like the tiger and red panda.

The report argues that whales are sentinel species for ocean health and critical for climate regulation, but face imminent extinction risks from cumulative threats. It advocates for 'connectivity conservation' through the establishment of blue corridors and networks of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to safeguard migratory routes across national and international waters.

The report examines the transition to regenerative agriculture across four case studies (Braga Fresh, Fresh Del Monte, Shepherd’s Grain, and Zirkle), finding that while regenerative practices can reduce input costs and improve soil health, they often lead to higher initial food losses. It argues that 'circularity'—measuring and repurposing on-farm loss—is essential to mitigate these risks and boost economic resilience. The document highlights a disconnect between buyer demands for sustainable produce and their unwillingness to pay price premiums or adjust strict cosmetic specifications, which hinders the scaling of regenerative practices.

The ESMP for Biological Corridor 7 (BC 7) outlines mitigation strategies for two primary 2022 activities: the maintenance of a Beat Office and Checkpost in Tangmachu, and the construction of a temporary carpentry shed in Gyalpoizhing for a community wood skilling program. The plan focuses on waste management, worker health and safety, and the prevention of social conflict, while providing detailed occupational health and safety (OHS) standards and monitoring protocols to ensure compliance with WWF and national regulations.

The 2022 update of this public opinion study reveals that while Americans are increasingly concerned about plastic pollution and supportive of producer responsibility, they express significant skepticism regarding the efficacy of recycling. A majority of respondents believe businesses are most responsible for reducing plastic waste and show strong support for positive-incentive regulations, such as beverage container refund programs, over taxes or fees. The report also highlights disparities in recycling access and behavior based on geography, housing tenure, and income.

The 2022 ESMP for Phibsoo Wildlife Sanctuary (PWS) outlines mitigation strategies for three primary activities: lowland grassland improvement, installation of a hybrid solar system at Phibsoo Outpost, and maintenance of the PWS headquarters.
