Synopsis

A deeply informed, radically hopeful manifesto for protecting our planet through the power of natural capital

––––––––––––

The climate movement has gathered some pace but what about the other, inextricably linked crisis in biodiversity? A radically hopeful manifesto, The Case for Nature sets out with clarity how we can use groundbreaking natural capital frameworks – ways of valuing services that nature provides – to make our economies work with, not against, our living planet.

Siddarth Shrikanth, an expert in green investing, introduces a host of nature-positive pioneers and, taking a cue from many indigenous worldviews, argues powerfully that nature must be woven into our societies, not set apart.
