ETH Meets You in Davos 2023

Wednesday, 18 January 2023
17.30-18.30 CET
Joint session with NatureFinance

RETHINKING Regeneration

Consider for a moment that our entire global economy is fully dependent upon natural systems. Consider further that these are increasingly at risk around the world and are recognized as not being healthy enough to continue to support us. Nature-based solutions which act to protect natural ecosystems that benefit people and contribute to tackling climate change and protecting biodiversity are an opportunity to ensure a nature positive future by providing essential services such as carbon storage, ensuring food and water supplies and buffering against the impacts of a warming world. Thus, Nature-Based Finance are the next wave of critical and appropriate measures for all of us to not just to consider, but to act upon.

This event is part of ETH Zurich¡¯s RETHINKING LIVING campaign. We are all feeling massive change across just about every aspect of our lives. Climate change, the destruction of biodiversity, the coronavirus pandemic and technological disruptions present threats, but more importantly, an opportunity to focus on grand challenges, to embrace deeper meaning, and to rediscover overlooked aspects of our lives. RETHINKING LIVING convenes scientists, industry experts and outstanding global thinkers from ETH Zurich and across the world.
