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 yearsHow only 2% of people believe nature is in a good or satisfactory condition, and 88% of experts find the situation alarming or catastrophicHow most people are somewhat optimistic that we can make progress on protecting and restoring nature, but this needs a more integrated, inclusive and embedded approachHow indigenous people bring a much-needed perspective on nature, challenging prevailing views on nature as a resource to extract or exploitWhich sectors are leading and why the Taskforce for Nature-Related Financial Disclosures and Science Based Targets for Nature are cause for hopeKey links: Jason Walters (LinkedIn) Globescan (website) Navigating the Nature Agenda (report) Thriving (book) Be An Optimist (poem) Wayne Visser (website) Wayne Visser (LinkedIn)
