At a glance
Systems thinking could be the key to solving the problem of how we preserve and regenerate our natural capital.
As humans, we tend to focus our attention on narrow issues. The simpler the challenge, the easier it is for us to comprehend and tackle it with action. Unfortunately, due to a bug of human understanding, the same is not true when it comes to more complicated issues, such as climate change.

They highlight different areas, including necessary policy innovations, the implementation of frameworks, and the role that investors and the private sector can play in improving our collective response to the impending challenges linked to natural capital. Our experts suggest thinking in systems could hold the key.
