Time is running out in the race to slash carbon emissions and
repair biodiversity, with the goal of reaching net-zero by 2050
remaining as elusive as ever. In Costing the Earth, leading impact
investor Eric Archambeau argues that rather than making
media-friendly pledges and grasping low-hanging fruit (such as
aviation taxes), world leaders must radically overhaul finance
instead. Only by aligning investment decisions with the UN's 17
Sustainable Development Goals, and ensuring that industrial and
services companies measure and incorporate in their P&L
statements the full environmental and social costs of their
operations - costs that are currently passed on to taxpayers or
absorbed by Nature - will we stand a chance of achieving the
breakthroughs we need. Zeroing in on the agri-food sector, one of
the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, water
consumption and biodiversity loss, Archambeau dissects the many
hidden problems caused by our current financial system. As the
stakes continue to rise and the window for action narrows, Costing
the Earth makes the case that the only viable and sustainable way
to achieve net-zero is to adopt the model pioneered by impact
investors, which takes the three Ps - profit, people and the planet
- into account when valuing a company or tracking its performance.
Only then will business leaders all over the world be incentivised
to place sustainability and the regeneration of the planet's
resources at the heart of their operations and decision-making.
