Current economic models do not adequately incentivise the protection, maintenance, and enhancement of nature. As a result, natural capital per person declined by 40% globally over 1992-2014, while produced capital per person doubled. While promising initiatives in natural capital accounting and valuation aim to change this paradigm, socioeconomic decisions continue to prioritise produced capital at the expense of natural capital.
The Global Future Council on Natural Capital provides a platform for the vibrant global natural capital community to convene and deliver a joint roadmap to mainstream natural capital in the global economy. It provides a transformational opportunity to move decision making beyond produced capital to include natural capital, thereby supporting the global goal to reverse nature loss by 2030 and enable humanity to live in harmony with nature by 2050.
The Council's work is coordinated across five working groups:
Africa loses an estimated $195 billion in natural capital every year. This is what must be done to reverse this dangerous degradation of natural resources.
