Paul Sutton is part of an international team trying to put a price on the services nature provides, e.g., flood control benefits from wetlands. Twenty years ago, the team calculated that these ecosystem services were almost twice the world GDP. Now they’ve looked at the calculations again and found that the earth has lost the ability to provide trillions of dollars in services Sutton will explain how it’s possible at all to think about a value for the planet, and what it means that trillions in ecosystem services are being lost.
