UN Global Compact Network UK, in partnership with Ramboll UK, lead the Nature Ambition Accelerator – a 6-month capacity-building programme designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to undertake a nature materiality assessment and learn how to set science-based targets for nature in line with the SBTN methodology. 

The Accelerator consists of facilitated in-person and virtual workshops, office hours, on-demand content, and homework materials to unpack the SBTN methodology into a guided learning journey.

The programme was initially launched in November 2025. Its first cohort includes 13 companies from various sectors, and runs from March – September 2026.
