How can we rethink our financial systems to recognize the true value of nature?

In this impact cut from the feature documentary How to Live on Earth, climate justice activist Xiye Bastida brings an Indigenous perspective to the conversation around nature finance, challenging systems that often place greater financial value on nature when it is extracted or destroyed than when it is alive.

From storing carbon and cleaning the air to supporting biodiversity, living ecosystems provide essential services that our economies often fail to fully value. This cut asks what needs to change if our financial systems are to work with, rather than against, the natural world.
