Eminent Speakers' Forum - Protecting People and Profits

22 November 2016

Manila

Philippines

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development shows that governments are committed to the protection and equitable sharing of natural capital and the benefits it can bring. But it’s not enough.

Lasting social, economic, and environmental progress can only be achieved with more private sector engagement. Protecting natural capital can be good for profits and for people. Damaging it can put entire economic sectors on the fast track to disaster.

In this edition of the Eminent Speakers' Forum, United Nations Enviroment Programme Executive Director Erik Solheim talked about how protecting natural capital can be good for profits and for people, and the importance of private sector engagement to achieve lasting social, economic, and environmental progress.
