World Ocean Radio 10/8/25: The Value of Nature Lost

Host: Peter Neill Producer: Trisha Badger ABOUT THIS EPISODE Nature is a most significant factor on the global balance sheet, and the cost of nature loss affects many key economic sectors. To deny or exclude nature’s true value is flawed economics and failed presentation of profit and loss for earth’s natural resources and systems. This week on World Ocean Radio we are discussing a Ceres publication entitled, “Nature’s Price Tag: The Economic Cost of Nature Lost” that explores the decline in ecosystem services used by five nature loss drivers and argue that the larger ecosystem service perspective must be included in the true cost analysis of most everything we use, make, and consume.
