Nature as Infrastructure
Recorded live at the Doconomy Stage of Impact Studio Session hosted at the Chrysler Building, during Climate Week NYC, this conversation explores the critical role forests, wetlands, soils and oceans play in underpinning economies, managing risk and creating long-term value.
As global markets search for durable pathways to risk management and long-term value creation, nature is increasingly recognized not merely as a conservation priority, but as vital physical infrastructure. Forests, wetlands, soils, and oceans underpin economic stability in much the same way as data centers, electrical grids, or flood defenses. Yet, a massive financing gap persists, with an estimated $700 billion required annually between now and 2030 to protect and restore natural capital.
