What if we worked with nature, not against it?

Hi there!

I'm Emīlija, and I’m on a mission to build nature-positive companies and economy.

For 8+ years, I researched how to bring nature into decision-making processes so that we can build sustainable futures.

Now, I’m shifting back to the industry and eager to solve the most pressing challenges to build nature-positive business.

Why nature-positive?

All business and economic sectors depend on a viable, healthy, stable natural environment.

All businesses and economic sectors will face nature-related risks.

All businesses and economic sectors make significant negative impact on natural environment.

Nature is not something out there, separate from humans. Nature is connected, related and supports everything we humans do.

Unfortunately, our extractive, profit-focused and human-centred businesses have and are making significant negative impact on nature.

Nature-related events and dependencies will be the key challenge for companies and cities in the next decades. But nature-positive strategies are here to help us navigate these challenges.

My specialties:

  • I deliver holistic or targeted nature-positive strategies for the strategic and operational levels: the why, where, how and with whom. 

  • I design, plan, and facilitate processes that include nature and its needs in decision-making, development processes, and design projects to ensure a win-win outcome for humans and nature.

  • I develop frameworks, methods, tools, and experiential activities that make abstract, nature-positive thinking actionable, clear, and context-specific.

  • Through experiential learning, I help professionals build a holistic understanding and practical skills in incorporating nature into decision-making and design.
