Paula_DiPerna explores the question “How can we value companies that produce dispensable, at times even mere doo-dad products, in the billions of dollars, and our indispensable atmosphere, at zero?” In her new book… ⬇️

Phase down of fossil fuel inevitable and essential, says #COP28 president "Sultan Al Jaber calls on world to up its #RenewableEnergy capacity and says oil and gas companies must be involved" #EnergyTransition #Renewables #SustainableEnergy #Oil #Gas theguardian.com/environment/20…

Maybe if we could price the sun, that would cover the rest, & we would not have to price the other details, down to each fuel tank and tourist trinket sold, to come up with a dollar value of all the elements of nature. #PricingthePriceless #ClimateFinance bit.ly/43fagsw

Good to see $ for energy infrastructure, but all of nature is critical infrastructure. Perhaps we need a similar "Natural Infrastructure Act" to guarantee permanent & substantial maintenance of natural assets, now otherwise spent down like raw material. reuters.com/sustainability…

I had a great conversation with Bill Miller of Global Connections TV about the #ClimateCrisis and #SustainableDevelopment and how the media can play a more proactive role. globalconnectionstelevision.com/video-gallery/… #PricingthePriceless

All of nature is an economic machine that generates benefits-but without price tags. Suppose that for every dollar withdrawn via an ATM, a penny was added to cover the costs of #reforestation, tracked by a global data accounting system, with satellite feeds worldwide?

Like the atmosphere, our oceans have lent themselves to us for free, their endless pricelessness uncounted in the costs or benefits of our seafaring and sea using, their health not even figured in. #PricingthePriceless

Was very satisfying to speak with Corinna Bellizzi, who really understands our planet's rarities. caremorebebetter.com/the-true-price… #PricingthePriceless #ClimateAction #CarbonCredits #CoralReefInsurance #ForestResilienceBond

New #TalkingHeadways podcast episode! This week we're joined by Paula_DiPerna to discuss her new book Pricing the Priceless. We chat about how nature is working for us for free and how we should value those services. bit.ly/4711dh9 Streetsblog USA

Why do we place an unbridled financial premium on ocean-view property but treat the coral reefs that protect that property from catastrophic storms as financially worthless? bit.ly/43fagsw #pricingthepriceless #climatechange #coral cbsnews.com/news/coral-ree…

👏 Carbon pollution adds a parasitic uncounted cost of climate change havoc to every product and process that exists through burning fossil fuel—every human need for heating & cooling met, any gas tank filled, any pavement, poured, any light switched on... asianews.network/indonesia-reaf…

"Women have long been fundamental drivers of conservation and sustainable productive activities. Their unique insights, skills, and expertise contribute to the preservation and responsible use of terrestrial and marine ecosystems."

Happy to hear that The Brian Lehrer Show and A Daily Politics Podcast will re-air our discussion on Pricing the Priceless, July 27--given fires in Canada, financial tools such as the #ForestResilienceBond are even more relevant to help stem wildfires by investing in forest resilience and keeping up forest maintenance

“The climate crisis is outsized, too large for our psyches. The planet’s resilience has been our illusion…….” This lovely prose is by Paula_DiPerna as a taster of her book … ⬇️
