Species biodiversity and biodiverse ecosystems are deteriorating around the world faster than at any time in human history. If global prosperity is to be achieved the whole of society must recognize how much economies depend on nature.
This report highlights the work of the Economics for Nature global partnership (E4N), which has pushed for system-wide change to maintain, protect, invest in and restore nature. The partnership has worked to put natural capital at the heart of economic development and to make nature’s value central to policies and visible in business and finance decisions. It has identified knowledge gaps and provided tools to help integrate natural capital into economic decision-making. It also has created new networks and connected existing ones, and has strengthened institutions to adopt new policies and investments that integrate nature.
E4N was a collaborative project between the Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP), Green Economy Coalition (GEC), WWF France and the Capitals Coalition, and funded by the MAVA Foundation.
