My guest this week is Jason Walters, Director of GlobeScan, who has overseen research among 11,000 people from 11 countries on biodiversity and business. In this episode he talks about:
- Why action on biodiversity is so far behind action on climate change – yet starting to gain traction in the past 2 years
- How only 2% of people believe nature is in a good or satisfactory condition, and 88% of experts find the situation alarming or catastrophic
- How most people are somewhat optimistic that we can make progress on protecting and restoring nature, but this needs a more integrated, inclusive and embedded approach
- How indigenous people bring a much-needed perspective on nature, challenging prevailing views on nature as a resource to extract or exploit
- Which sectors are leading and why the Taskforce for Nature-Related Financial Disclosures and Science Based Targets for Nature are cause for hope
