>> Back to January 2019<\/a><\/div>\n

On November 26, 2018, Mark R. Tercek, CEO of The Nature Conservancy, delivered the following speech at the UN Environment Finance Initiative\u2019s biennial Global Roundtable in Paris, France.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Good afternoon. I\u2019ve been asked to identify what we need to do to scale up investments in nature.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a question I think about a lot. I spent 24 years working as an investment banker and the last 10 years as the CEO of The Nature Conservancy. This is what I think about. And this is what I want you to start thinking about more.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start by looking at the state of nature and how we view the challenges facing it today.<\/p>\n

I am going to assume that you are familiar with the headlines from two recent reports \u2014 the IPCC report on 1.5 degrees<\/em> and WWF\u2019s Living Planet Report<\/em>. These rigorously analyzed reports plainly state the risks: if we maintain a business-as-usual approach, the world is on a self-defeating trajectory.<\/p>\n

We are using up natural resources faster than nature can replenish itself. But you all know that.<\/p>\n

So let me look ahead for a moment. The Nature Conservancy, partnering with the University of Minnesota and several other academic organizations, looked ahead to 2050 and analyzed two different futures for the world: one business-as-usual scenario, and the other, a sustainability scenario.<\/p>\n
