The Value of Nature
summary
Panel states a funding gap of $700 billion vs $20 billion for biodiversity, with about 1 million species threatened and roughly 100–150 species lost per day; 66,000 km² of forest disappeared last year. Proposals include $200 per hectare per year to restore 30% of land, creating a nature-capital account and ecological passports, plus market tools: rePlanet runs 23 projects issuing 19M carbon + 15M biodiversity credits, independent verification, and supplier CO2 targets plus circularity for industry.
