To the G7: Invest in nature for a green economic recovery

A joint statement from the Economics For Nature initiative urging G7 governments to integrate natural capital into economic recovery plans to ensure a resilient, green recovery following COVID-19.

• An analysis of 40 recovery plans reveals that most fail to acknowledge the dependency of economic activity on nature, with only a few recognizing the role of natural capital in building post-COVID-19 economic resilience.
• Investing in nature to meet Sustainable Development Goals could provide an estimated $40-50 trillion in value to human well-being and the economy.
• The Economics For Nature initiative urges G7 governments to translate their recognition of nature-based pathways into action by prioritizing multi-stakeholder policy processes, changing economic incentives to reward nature-positive outcomes, and embedding the multiple values of nature into economic decisions.
