*Nature's Returns: Investing in Ecosystem Services*
A Special Edition Webinar Series
Yale Center for Business and the Environment* *
The Yale Center for Business and the Environment (CBEY) is pleased to
announce the third year of Nature’s Returns: Investing in Ecosystem
Services, a webinar series that addresses the growing importance of
ecosystem service valuation and investment. The benefits that human
populations gain from healthy and functioning ecosystems are vast. Clean
drinking water filtered by forests, carbon stored in plants or soil, crop
pollination by wild insects, and pharmaceutical uses of plants are just a
few examples of services humans usually receive for free. A recent wave of
efforts to monetize the value of Ecosystem Services presents an opportunity
to both protect these assets and bring their worth onto the market. Public
and private mechanisms exist to use payments to encourage responsible land
management in order to preserve public benefits. Currently,
conservationists and investors alike are moving into this space in hopes of
achieving a win-win for the economy and the environment.
So, what do Ecosystem Services projects look like? Who are the
practitioners involved and what skills are most important in terms of
getting into the profession? What obstacles and opportunities does this
field face? These questions and more (including those from the audience)
will be addressed throughout the four focal areas of the series.
                            The *Ecosystem Services* webinars are supported
by the Yale Center for Business & the Environment. They will be free and
open to the public through online webcasts. Each presentation will be
recorded and made available to the global community through Yale
University's iTunesU channel <http://e2.ma/click/0p9af/kdhwpb/kpuqzb>. More
details about the speakers associated with each focal area will follow. If
interested, please subscribe <http://e2.ma/click/0p9af/kdhwpb/0hvqzb> to
the *Nature’s Returns* newsletter for information about upcoming events.
