Description

Contributor(s): Professor Juliano Assunção, Jim Leape, Professor Rohini Pande | As climate change accelerates, the economic case for protecting and investing in natural capital has never been clearer. This event brings together leading economists and policymakers to explore how the degradation of ecosystems – from forests and wetlands to oceans – is not only an environmental crisis but a profound market failure.
Natural capital – the world’s stock of natural assets like soil, air, water, and biodiversity – underpins global economies yet remains largely invisible in traditional financial systems. In the face of rising climate risks, we must rethink how we measure, value, and invest in nature.
