Panel Discussion: The evolution of natural capital investment

Henry Morgan, Infrastructure Sustainable Investment Lead | James Cairns, Director, The Palladium Group | Hiba Larsson, Principal, NatureFinance
Natural capital comprises the Earth’s land, air, oceans, and biodiversity. It is the single most important input into the global economy, with more than half of global GDP depending on natural resources. Yet humankind’s current demands on nature far exceed its capacity to supply, and it is a question of survival to redress this imbalance. Drawing on the recent successes in areas such as the energy transition or the developing carbon markets, our panel explored what the future holds for investment into natural capital and what innovations we are likely to see.
