Nature loss 'dwarfs bank crisis'
Losses are great, and continuous, says the report The global economy is losing more money from the disappearance of forests than through the current banking crisis, according to an EU-commissioned study. It puts the annual cost of forest loss at between $2 trillion and $5 trillion. The figure comes from adding the value of the various services that forests perform, such as providing clean water and absorbing carbon dioxide. Some conservationists see it as a new way of persuading policymakers to fund nature protection rather than allowing the decline in ecosystems and species, highlighted in the release on Monday of the Red List of Threatened Species, to continue.
Lord Turner has two jobs. The first, as chair of the Financial Services Authority, is to save capitalism. The second, as chair of the committee on climate change, is to save the biosphere from the impacts of capitalism. I have no idea how well he is discharging the first task, but if his approach to the second one is anything to go by, you should dump your shares and buy gold. His climate change report, published yesterday, is long, detailed and impressive. It has the admirable objective of trying to cap global warming at two degrees or a little more.

This course is designed to run in five consecutive sessions, each involving 10-12 hours of independent study by the student, spread over a period of five weeks (although there are a number of links to detailed information which, if fully worked through, constitute a course of approximately 100 study hours). The course has been designed around Open Educational Resources (OER) with open content and open access whenever possible, with ‘wrap-around’ new material to provide coherent links between these resources. Due to the ‘open’ nature of the resources there will be many differences in the style, appearance, and reliability of the resources, but these resources have been carefully selected by the course team to provide a useful educational starting-block for the study of this topic. Participants in this course are encouraged through the open and interactive structure to contribute their own examples and to add to the resources lists where they feel it is relevant.
