A nature-positive future requires ecosystem function to be investable

The Investment Value of Ecosystem Condition
Like it or not, expressing nature value in dollars may be the best indicator

Carbon is a co-benefit
Carbon sequestration is only fraction of Nature's Value. It is time for holistic ecosystem valuation.

I'll spare you the details of the 15 stocks and the 19 flows of natural capital, the natural cap rate and natural asset ensurance - I have covered it elsewhere.
Core to our work though has been: value the priceless to protect the infinite WHILE being realistic and practical. Frankly, I think we cracked the code. Natural Asset Ensurance does this.
Will do a video for ensurance.wtf soon but this is a major breakthrough and I could not wait to share it!
Natural Cap Rate expresses it:
FLOWS (ESV/yr) = VALUE
STOCKS (real asset) = COST
collapse cost → 0
(no rent, no debt, no flipping, no holding nature hostage)
secure flows → ∞
(instrumental value protects infinite/priceless)
Natural Cap Rate ⇒ ∞
(if infinite is too abstract, real public goods and cash yields can be shown in both in $ and %)

Clear as mud right? It's actually pretty straight forward if approached as for X cost, I/we get Y value, expressed as Z.
Open for private or public discussions any time on this.
