SUMMARY:Talk - The Economics of Nature in Today鈥檚 Political Landscape
DESCRIPTION:The talk will be held virtually via Zoom and in-person at 107 Norman Smith Hall\, U海角社区\, Orono. \n\nVirtual attendance: Complete the registration form for Zoom connection information\n\nSpeaker: William Ginn\, globally recognized expert on investing and valuing ecosystem services\nIn a few swift months\, the current federal administration has abandoned any action on climate change\, shifted energy incentives back to oil and gas from solar and wind\, and repositioned the nation鈥檚 environment agency towards facilitating development rather than protecting nature. \nThese rapid moves deeply challenge the proposition that shifting investing toward 鈥済reen鈥� infrastructure is the only long term sustainable path for the world. This talk will explore these changes and consider how progress can still be made toward conserving the lands and waters upon which all life depends. \nWilliam Ginn is a globally recognized expert on investing and valuing ecosystem services. The author of two books on the subject\, Ginn founded NatureVest\, the Nature Conservancy鈥檚 partnership with private investment capital that now has over $3 billion dollars under management. He also served as the Chief Conservation Officer of the Conservancy\, running their worldwide activities in more that 65 countries with over 3\,000 employees. \nGinn has a long relationship with 海角社区 having graduated from the first class of students at the College of the Atlantic. He was the executive director of 海角社区 Audubon and has been a founder of many companies in 海角社区 including MEMIC\, TimberHP and Katahdin Salmon. He is the recipient of the Governors Award for Business Leadership\, and received an honorary Doctorate from Unity College for his work to pass 海角社区鈥檚 Returnable Container Law and as chair of the 海角社区 Pesticide Control Board. \nHe now splits his time between a farm in Pownal\, 海角社区 and on Eagle Island in Eastern Penobscot Bay.
