Nature is not a side issue. It is the foundation of the global economy, and its silent risk.

In this GreenTruth episode, Alex Ferry speaks with the Balint Ternyik - Programme Officer at UNEP-WCMCabout why over half of global GDP depends on nature, how tech infrastructure quietly relies on water and climate stability, and why biodiversity loss is now a boardroom issue. We explore tools like IBAT and ENCORE, TNFD adoption, and the shift toward making “every job a nature job.”

This conversation reframes nature from externality to infrastructure , and challenges leaders to redesign growth before ecological risk becomes economic instability.
