A deeply informed, radically hopeful manifesto for regenerating our economies and societies through the power of nature and natural capital.

The Case for Nature Summary

The Case for Nature: Pioneering Solutions for A Planetary Crisis by Siddarth Shrikanth

The climate movement has gathered some pace but what about the other, inextricably linked crisis in biodiversity? A radically hopeful manifesto,The Case for Naturesets 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.
