 Good evening, everyone. It's late in your day-to-day, but I've got both good news and bad news to share Let's get the bad news out of the way first As we've heard and we know the way we farm our lands and mismanage our forests is literally killing our planet It's also killing our farmers in India alone over 12,000 a year in the US farmers are twice as likely to commit suicide as a general population There is no state in India my country where the average farmer is not in significant debt Indeed the level of indebtedness is highest in states that practice modern so-called green revolution forms of agriculture In Africa more than a third of agricultural lands have stopped responding to fertilizers Due to a lack of organic carbon in the soil and this number is rising You know all about the adverse impacts of climate biodiversity and pollution, of course That's why you're all here To make the investments that can drive the kind of change we need at scale as the minister just pointed out But the key thing is that you're also here because you care and that is the beginning of the good news section of my talk In very simple terms building an economy that rewards care and the duty of care is what we are calling the stewardship economy Care for the planet Care for people both together and simultaneously There is a very strong investment case to be made for transitioning to a stewardship economy My optimism comes from more tried and tested parts of our economy Where care has been both valued and validated For instance, there is overwhelming evidence that investments in public health deliver huge returns for individuals For society as a whole and for investors. Here are two examples from the US Every dollar spent on workplace wellness was associated with a $3.27 decrease in medical cost and a $2.37 decrease in absenteeism costs Here's another example Recently the EPA Estimated that the Clean Air Act of 1970 had a benefits to cost ratio of more than 30 to 1 Simply by improving air quality and emissions resulting in better health and economic welfare a Recent WHO report on public health for Europe offered three key investment pathways, which I'm going to lean on To a great extent today with only slight modifications Firstly the well-being health and security pathway and for humans. This means increasing life expectancy Improving quality of life and well-being building human capital Enhancing labor productivity and activity and ensuring national and global health security for the planet This means improving soil organic carbon soil and above-ground biodiversity Improving nutrition from production to consumption paying attention to one health Reducing waste water use and greenhouse gas emissions Secondly, there is a social and equity pathway Which is about reducing the well-being health and welfare gaps along social gradients building social capital Creating political stability and achieving equity for women young people and the poorest In the US alone one study has suggested that poverty kills more people than toxic agents and motor vehicle accidents combine Finally and thirdly the economic and innovation pathway This offers many possibilities either directly or through induced economic effects For instance providing employment and decent jobs For example in agroforestry and agriculture as they transform the way agriculture takes place today Or establishing and repairing infrastructure including ecological infrastructure For instance restoring forests and watersheds or mangroves or planting the right kinds of trees on farms for multiple benefits Removing barriers to payments through digital money building capacities to manage more resilient productive and sustainable land management system Including through insurance and ecosystem service valorization Developing whole new value chains and portfolios of value chains Enhancing labor through technology building skills and much much more Therefore our investments must focus on the stewards and you've heard from some of them today Especially those in indigenous communities Who are caring for the land and our futures? We must focus on stewardship, which is increasingly recognized as a pathway for action And finally on connecting these at multiple multiple points within nested scales as part of a transition to a stewardship economy In conclusion a transition to a stewardship economy Investments that reflect care and reward a duty of care will help find the balance between nurture and use Of nature and humans alike Thank you
