We couldn't agree more!

The planet's resources still do not figure in countries’ calculations of wealth.
The current system is weighted towards destruction, not preservation.
The world must reconsider how GDP is calculated, reflecting nature's true value in all policies, plans and economic systems.

Big kudos to @UNDESA, @UNEP and @BC3Research for unveiling an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that will make it easier for countries to measure the contributions of nature to their economic prosperity and well‑being. @andersen_inger

Wonderful move by countries to adopt a new statistical framework that takes into account, not just GDP, but also the contributions of nature, when measuring economic prosperity and human well-being.

Mapping Liberia's Ecosystems:
The project is a joint effort between @NASA, @ConservationOrg & the Liberian Government.
It will enable the government to factor the health of the country's ecosystems & their value to people into its economic planning.

Welcome development as countries move closer to transitioning to a new statistical framework for measuring economic prosperity and human well-being. The framework goes beyond GDP and ensures that #NaturalCapital is factored in economic reporting.

Great insights from Liberia & Rwanda on maximizing on nature to strengthen Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) or planned actions in tackling the climate emergency under the Paris Agreement. This was during a recent webinar we co-hosted with
