Episode 6 - Negotiating Nature: Papua New Guinea and New Economic Ambitions

In this special episode of the Nature Pledge, we journey to Papua New Guinea, a nation of unparalleled natural richness and enormous economic potential. From the capital of Port Moresby to the remote, vibrant islands off the coast of West New Britain, we talk to policy makers, civil society actors and local communities to understand the impacts of economic growth and demographic pressures on nature. How might we fairly negotiate our interests in nature protection, job creation, and sustainable livelihoods to provide for all? What lessons might be applied to other middle-income settings, rich in biodiversity and ambition?
