Why Family Offices Should Be Looking at Nature-Based Solutions: Lunch with Terra Labs
If nature were listed on an exchange, it would be the most undervalued asset in the world. Consider the arithmetic. The world faces a $700 billion annual biodiversity financing gap, while $7.3 trillion flows into nature-negative activities every year, only $220 billion is spent conserving it; in other words, for every $30 spent destroying nature only $1 is spent protecting

When Professor Andrew Balmford FRS delivered this year’s Royal Society Environment Prize Lecture — “Feeding the world without costing the earth” — he posed a question that sits at the heart of food systems investing: how do we meet humanity’s most basic need without dismantling the natural systems that it depends on?

This week, at the Generation & Just Climate’s Global Client Conference 2026, the air was thick with a level of gravity that only a Nobel Laureate and a former Director of National Intelligence can command.
