If it matters to us, we have found a way to put a dollar amount on it—to quantify its importance in our lives and society. These models and metrics tell us that our economies are healthy because they are growing. And yet for as long as they have existed, our economic models have served us an incomplete picture; they fail to account for the fact that our growth is driven by a resource that we take for free and treat as infinite: nature. Indeed, for centuries we have been using nature as if it were limitless, but more than ever, we are recognizing that our demands on the natural world are unsustainable.  aNatural capital  cBK  c11531d11531  00104070aU001bU001cSustainable Developmentd2026-06-19l0o333.7DASpUR010578r2026-06-29 09:54:08w2026-06-29yBK  00104070aU001bU001cSustainable Developmentd2026-06-19l0o333.7DASpUR010577r2026-06-29 09:54:55w2026-06-29yBK
