The land base absorbs more than a quarter of our total emissions that the modern economy puts up into the atmosphere. Many countries in the north have depleted nature over many decades, in some cases centuries and big intact forests sit in the global south. So this discussion about financial mechanisms to support those countries, protect these ecosystems is all caught up in that.
Co-host Michael Chui talks with Justin Adams. Adams is the head of partnerships at Just Climate, a climate-led investment business. he answers questions, including:
- How does nature or the ecosystem provide services to the economy?
- How much needs to be invested in nature?
- What role can capitalism play in addressing issues around sustainability?
- What kind of innovations have real potential to mitigate carbon emissions?
