Why nature-based solutions need a positive ROI story

This week: James Stokes, director of business development at Lestari Capital, talks with Innovation Forum’s Ian Welsh about financing nature-based solutions and ecosystem services. They discuss why nature-based investment cases lean on risk prevention rather than a positive return story, and why shifting that imbalance depends on making nature as investable as any other asset class.

And, food systems exploit more workers than any other sector globally; PepsiCo’s farmers protect its potato supply; major fashion coalition to fund textile waste management in Ghana; and, Australia’s high court blocks coal mine expansion, in the news digest with Babette Pagès.
