How can Costanza's work help address climate change?
My research highlights the critical role of natural capital in mitigating and adapting to climate change. For instance, forests and wetlands sequester carbon, a vital ecosystem service. By valuing these services, we can justify investments in conservation and restoration as cost-effective climate solutions. Understanding the economic implications of climate impacts on ecosystems, and the economic benefits of nature-based solutions, is essential for developing a resilient and sustainable global economy.
