What would it take for our economies to value nature while it is still alive? 🌿

Climate justice activist Xiye Bastida explores how the way we value nature shapes the choices we make about protecting, restoring and using it, a question at the heart of How to Live on Earth.

Living ecosystems support biodiversity, store carbon, clean our air and sustain communities. Yet their value is not always reflected in the economic systems that influence decisions about their future.

Rethinking that relationship invites us to consider how our economies and societies can work with nature, rather than against it, and how changing what we value could change the decisions we make.

This conversation is part of the How to Live on Earth Education Channel, where expert perspectives, short films and learning resources take the questions raised by the film further.
