Nature is not external to the economy. It is the foundation on which it depends. Discover what this means for resilience, investment and prosperity.
Climate change, biodiversity loss and resource pressures are changing how we think about economic resilience. Increasingly, organisations are recognising that healthy ecosystems are fundamental to the performance of communities, businesses and infrastructure.
This presentation explores the emerging field of natural capital and nature markets, showing how natural systems can be understood as measurable assets that reduce risk, strengthen resilience and create long-term value.
Drawing on practical examples from across Aotearoa, Sam Parsons will demonstrate how organisations are moving beyond awareness to action by mapping natural assets, establishing ecological baselines and integrating nature into strategic planning and investment decisions.
