Abstract
| Health, food, wealth, and security as drivers of human wellbeing and foundations of the modern society are built on and nourished by natural capital estimated at US$125 trillion a year. This natural capital constitutes the services involved in many economic activities provided by nature (WWF, 2018). On the back of this vast services provided by nature, the business and finance industry is beginning to question how global environmental risks will affect the macroeconomic performance of countries, sectors and financial markets, and policymakers wonder how to meet climate and sustainable development targets with declining nature and biodiversity (WWF, 2018). The level of consumption of natural stock through human consumer behavior and wealth creation have adverse impacts on the sustainability of the planet. |
