Hard-hitting recommendations for what must be done to manage global
natural capital and reverse environmental destruction Natural
capital is what nature provides to us for free. Renewables—like
species—keep on coming, provided we do not drive them towards
extinction. Non-renewables—like oil and gas—can only be used
once. Together, they are the foundation that ensures our survival
and well-being, and the basis of all economic activity. In the face
of the global, local, and national destruction of biodiversity and
ecosystems, economist Dieter Helm here offers a crucial set of
strategies for establishing natural capital policy that is
balanced, economically sustainable, and politically viable. Â
Helm shows why the commonly held view that environmental protection
poses obstacles to economic progress is false, and he explains why
the environment must be at the very core of economic planning. He
presents the first real attempt to calibrate, measure, and value
natural capital from an economic perspective and goes on to outline
a stable new framework for sustainable growth. Bristling with ideas
of immediate global relevance, Helm’s book shifts the parameters
of current environmental debate. As inspiring as his trailblazing
The Carbon Crunch, this volume will be essential reading for anyone
concerned with reversing the headlong destruction of our
environment.
