Ecovalue
How do you create 400 million jobs in the wake of a pandemic, while generating $10tn in annual business value by 2030? According to the World Economic Forum's new ‘Future of Nature and Business’ report, it’s by making $2.7tn in green investments, giving a 370% return. The downside of not doing so is equally compelling: the destruction of nature is threatening over half of global GDP. The opportunities range from retrofitting cities for ecoefficiency ($825bn benefit) to better management of wild fish ($172bn). Instead, we see $151bn in bailouts for the fossil fuel industry. Not investing in sustainability today is economic madness.
