The Challenge is a Wicked Problem
- Natural capital is our finite supply of Energy, Water, Atmosphere and Habitat.
- The need to sustain natural capital and become resilient to changes in climate is immediate and urgent.
- The value of natural capital is diminishing rapidly, creating a problem for future generations.
Investing in infrastructure is our approach to solving this wicked problem
Here's why
Extreme weather is stressing infrastructure and forcing humans to adapt quickly.
"Hurricane Sandy made it all too clear that, no matter how far we've come, we still face real, immediate threats."
-Michael Bloomberg, Former Mayor of New York City
Markets require significant financing for new resilient infrastructure.
"All the finance reports say if you want to achieve net zero 2050, then it's going to cost about $2.5 to $5 trillion per year for the next 30 years."
-John Kerry, Former U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate
The rapid pace of change requires rethinking investments in infrastructure.
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results."
-Author Rita Mae Brown, "Sudden Death" (1983)
