with Johan Rockström (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research), Stefan Wintels (KfW), Martin Stuchtey (The Landbanking Group) and Solveigh Hieronimus (McKinsey & Company)
Moderated by Solveigh Hieronimus (McKinsey & Company), this DLD Nature
panel brings together three leading experts from science and business to discuss
nature’s value for the global economy.
• Johan Rockström - Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact
Research;
• Martin Stuchtey - Founder of The Landbanking Group;
• Stefan Wintels - CEO of KfW Group, one of the world’s largest development
banks and financiers of biodiversity projects.
Johan Rockström points out that nature contributes an estimated $4 trillion to the
global economy, a figure he considers a significant underestimation since all
economic activities ultimately depend on nature.
He also stresses that protecting nature is crucial to combatting climate change, as
ecosystems provide 56% of the Earth’s buffering capacity by absorbing carbon
emissions.
Despite the critical role of nature, there is a significant funding gap. Only about
$120 billion is invested annually, compared to the estimated $1 trillion needed.
That’s why Martin Stuchtey proposes developing a “nature-based economy”
which would recognize nature as an asset in financial systems and balance sheets.
Stefan Wintels and Martin Stuchtey both advocate for policy changes, including
introducing carbon taxes, removing harmful subsidies, and providing tax
incentives for investments in natural capital.
Watch the video for details about bringing the value of nature into economic
systems, innovative approaches to mobilize funding for biodiversity conservation,
and more.
