29. Navigating the Nature Agenda, with Jason Walters
Update: 2023-02-09
Description
My guest this week is Jason Walters, Director of GlobeScan, who has overseen research among 11,000 people from 11 countries on biodiversity and business. In this episode he talks about:
- Why action on biodiversity is so far behind action on climate change – yet starting to gain traction in the past 2 years
- How only 2% of people believe nature is in a good or satisfactory condition, and 88% of experts find the situation alarming or catastrophic
- How most people are somewhat optimistic that we can make progress on protecting and restoring nature, but this needs a more integrated, inclusive and embedded approach
- How indigenous people bring a much-needed perspective on nature, challenging prevailing views on nature as a resource to extract or exploit
- Which sectors are leading and why the Taskforce for Nature-Related Financial Disclosures and Science Based Targets for Nature are cause for hope
