Why Nature Is the Foundation of Our Economy with Marc Palahí - Special London Climate Action Week Episode (Ep. 4)

LONDON CLIMATE ACTION WEEK SPECIAL EPISODE As leaders, investors, scientists, and policymakers gather for London Climate Action Week (https://www.londonclimateactionweek.org), Wild by Nature explores one of the most important questions of our time: What if nature isn't separate from the economy—but the foundation of it? In this episode, Dr. Vian Sharif sits down with Marc Palahí, CEO of the Circular Bioeconomy Alliance and Chief Nature Officer at Lombard Odier, to discuss biodiversity, climate change, sustainable finance, regenerative economies, forest ecosystems, and the growing connection between environmental health and economic resilience. Together, they explore why biodiversity loss and climate risk are becoming financial risks, how forests support human wellbeing and global prosperity, and why a circular bioeconomy may be essential to creating a nature-positive future.
