Could assigning a price to nature change how we treat the planet?
In short: This video explores the concept of Pavan Sukhdev as 'nature's banker.' It examines whether paying for the true value of Earth's assets, like air and water, would encourage more careful consumption and less waste.
Pavan Sukhdev assesses the value of the Earth's assets to determine the true cost of resources like air, water, and trees. By restructuring economic models to account for this 'natural capital,' we might better understand the impact of our consumption.
The video uses eye-opening charts to challenge our tendency to use Earth's materials for free without considering their actual worth.
