The document outlines a framework for offshore wind companies to contribute to a 'nature-positive' ocean—defined as halting biodiversity loss by 2030 and achieving full recovery by 2050. It advocates for the adoption of the AR3T Action Framework (Avoid, Reduce, Restore and Regenerate, Transform) across six business activities: micro-siting, design and manufacture, groundworks and installation, cable laying, operations and maintenance, and decommissioning. Key recommendations include avoiding development in protected areas, adopting nature-inclusive designs to reduce wildlife collisions, and utilizing artificial reef modules for habitat restoration. The briefing emphasizes that prioritizing nature can create economic opportunities, citing a World Economic Forum analysis suggesting up to US $10.1T in new business opportunities and 395 million jobs by 2030.
