now is former national security adviser says he isn't fit to be president anyway john bolton is my guest this week from washington how much damage from broken bones to america and the rest of the. conflict zone. do. w. . money is the driver of modern life or not it's needed to pay for the clothes we wear for the food we eat and for nearly every aspect of fall lives while it's used for so many good things it's also behind some of our bad choices as a species like the destruction of the involvement to leave it for example me you examine these choices and use money as an incentive to protect the environment

that's what we talk about today hello welcome to eco india i'm sunk that raghu coming to you from mumbai commercial agriculture it is one of the biggest reasons for deforestation accounting for 14 percent of all the tropical trees fell between the years 2 positive and 2010 according to u.n. figures in regions like the west on cots in india local farmers are having to cut down trees to make ends meet to support their agricultural practices but a community project is turning things around for their future. the forest around the religion in the western india to its people especially because of his be productive trees they don't only grow but they're also the home of the great with the red fruits from the crease. dr who and 69 year old.

romani are the heads of $32.00 well it is that on the area they know of the importance of the crease. this trio of horn builds is here from ages and is being respected by our forefathers from generations the age of this tree is not less than 225 years whenever there is any function in the village this is worshiped 1st. the western ghats a mountainous region growing to the south of mumbai in former times there was a unique rain forest here not much of it is left many large productive crees were chopped down here a few years ago to build the trees. and due to economic pressure. of the sacred creek makes things for livestock farming. however the remaining grandfathers contained precious treasures the fruit of the baby doc

a tree known ingredient in the i regret the herbal medicine industry the fair while function has developed a business idea from this local harvest the fruits of the crees. one of them is 22 year old roger. he has been a permanent member of the project for 80. gailey . i'm example of reverse migration who was leaving for mumbai to do a job as there was no one in the family or arning livelihood at the railway station very present to develop the nature connect contacted me and suggested me for the job of collecting. job growth. creating income for the local it's an important concern of the brought it did no longer rely on the family they don't need to drop down the crease the groups are

dried and sorted by the victim of the growing government take of the seeds. not among the villain is 25 year old yvonne. yeah. i come here to actually my live with my husband and in those who are dependent on us here good to you does everything. that a. journey and so not just go director of the fair while back to nature connect project teaching the locals to live from the fruits of the old crease is one aspect that matters to him another one is their contribution to climate change the forest areas that we are saving in the most and cards sequestering $11000.00 carbon in one acre so if we say that in the last one year we have saved 2000 acres of forest it bunkley it's going to see me 200000 tonnes of carbon dioxide getting the least

in the in the atmosphere. of the flute have been dried. to make my ribbon on which i use for. a mixture of was used in i read the medicine i mean 120 communities make good living from harvesting processing and crossposting different income last year alone around 100000 here. about $1000.00 of the old trees could be saved from deforestation and that is another property of the home but it nests in the branches all be productive. if you do intensive deforestation the population of these rare birds had declined enormously thanks to the project the population is now recovered we found that the out of our next things i took going to mystic sites around 23 even if things are

it's where on the tree of the i mean i believe in god so it was very clear that if we are going to save the beleaguered trees we have saved the greed on. the project not only ensures that crease are protected from being cut down the survival of the baby doc increases taken care of by the hornbill itself as a so-called farmer of the forest it ensures the defeat of the foods and spread again. planet and it don't always go hand in hand many a time history has. come from investing in not. companies seem to be. more. assured of their money is being human in a socially and environmentally responsible. 20 years 2010 drilling rig exploded in the gulf of mexico leading to the largest oil spill

in history. ports revealed that the attempts by oil company b.p. to cut costs and maximize profits would lead to the disaster. taking its toll on. the incident illustrates the frequent conflict between the planners and shareholder profits. but what if it didn't have to be this way. very expressed concern around. this scandal some investors have sold their b.p. shares concerned about the company's record on environmental social and governance issues so they avoided the stock crash the fall of the oil spill. these 3 metrics are now called e s g and they're defining a new way of investing that promises to reconcile. but can they deliver.

as cynical as the financial world might seem ethical considerations of always played a role in investment decisions. the origins of responsible investing traced back to 1758 when some religious groups prohibited members from profiting from the slave trade ringback but the modern era of responsible investing really evolved in the 1960 s. together with the boycott movement. it started with the boycotts of companies that do business with apartheid south africa that was really the genesis i think. and then it kind of grew up along with the green movement through the seventies and eighties and kind of banking. removal of tobacco stocks removal of firearms manufacturers removal of nuclear weapons manufacturing is all about excluding companies this exclusion strategy is called divesting and despite the initial excitement it led to mixed results. however according to

a modern political theory hurting your bottom line a little bit and you have to sacrifice some financial returns. vestments remove entire sectors like energy into bacco from investors portfolios when the portfolio is less diversified its risk goes up. 5 the 1st of such funds for example has historically underperformed the market but big money is now betting that this will change. 2020 less it's a c.e.o.'s larry fink the chairman of black rock the world's largest front manager came right out and said climate risk is investment risk. but i don't think there is a choice between plan and profit. it's amazing actually metrics that you're scoring companies on you look at anything or is this really any s.g. thing or is this just good business are you polluting are you wasting resources or

wasting resources back to the bottom line or that brings the rate back into big business. screening companies for the s.g. criteria has proven an effective way to anticipate and avoid scandals capable of wiping out share prices through for example in between yesterday mutual funds they had to hold folks who are going for a long time because there were questions around the governance structure of the company. disallowed those e s g. funds to avoid the stock crash that followed reasonable news emissions cheating scandal. with cheating software to make the. green companies are also better prepared to face the growing threat of climate change. act as a reviving the appeal of green investment. sustainable funds are attracting new assets at a record pace. the real question then is not whether green investments can make profits question whether they can be called green in the 1st place.

got yesterday the lack of a central standard is an issue so company could in theory score very well on these . rankings but on the other hand have very large negative effects on the environment. and even if a company is genuinely green buying its shares may not translate into creating an impact. the theory of change behind sustainable investing is pretty straightforward . screen companies receive the more they can pursue their sustainable. vestments are unlikely to financially starve the fossil fuel industry for this strategy to be effective it must permanently reduce a company's ability to access capital when capital is divested there's also creates an opportunity for other investors to buy shares at a lower price when this happens the stock price can quickly pounds back to its

previous level without impacting the company's valuation ringback. it's not enough it simply isn't because the effective tiny. investments are not a magic formula. very often what is advertised as sustainable is just greenwashing . of the cases impacts can be achieved only by sacrificing some profit. when investing in our early profitable non-green companies and then diverting the profit to environmental causes would be more effective. but similar calculations miss a more important point. it is tough to actually measure and. your conscience is clean you don't profit from an activity. many people simply no longer want to invest money at the expense of the environment and that alone is an

important step forward. now investor pressure is forcing companies to reconsider their carbon footprint wunmi if this is true. that is by being for projects that reduce carbon dioxide emissions in other parts of the world in 2018 the voluntary carbon offsets market was worked to $95700000.00 for maybe this opens up new business opportunities. this tropical rain forest has stood for millennia but human beings would need very little time to destroy it driven by the desire to make money.

just like any other bankers who came to work i was actually. underwriting so we do a lot of deals. done so no hard china is heading out to his rain forest in borneo it covers an area twice the size of new york city. he's bought the rights to the land from the indonesian government for the next 60 years on condition that he protects the forest. i always believe that the environment has their value just like treating it like a real estate i thought that owning a. forest you know it can have a better appreciation on value compared to real estate companies pay having to protect the forest like volkswagen the world's largest automaker buys carbon credits from hard tonneau to compensate for the emissions put out by its cars neither he nor v.w. are willing to say how much they cost per tonne a sense discussing prices openly would be damaging to business critics of the trade

in carbon emissions say it allows companies to greenwash their image even as they continue to contribute to global warming we always said that there are to grow up let's try to protect the rainforest for the reality is the past 20 years all the rain forests are pretty much gone in certain countries is because we believe that you know we should convert it into other use it's assess paper for human and for humanity needs but i think there is a new model saying that you can still protect the rain forests and make money for the company and also giving benefit the communities while protecting the environment then that should be a new model going forward. just a few kilometers outside the protected sound the rain forest has disappeared here wildfires tore through the area after a prolonged period of heat but many times it's international companies to clear the forest in order to sell timber to gain grazing land for cattle or to set up palm oil plantations.

in his area hard tonneau has set up a cutting gunman tie a project to show others how the forest can be used to make money without destroying it in the process. he says the money from carbon emissions trading can help with that. hard tonneau has invested in initiatives like the school which provides instruction on how to climb a coconut tree for example. many of the people who have now gained jobs through hard tonneau previously earned their living selling temporary feel now they're learning how to extract sugar from the south of the coconut tree financed by companies in europe. with the. longer coconut tree for the 1st time i was scared. but slowly the fear disappeared . and now i want to climb 20 coconut trees a day. i think i'll use to cut wood in the forest for

a living. the work was dangerous i only did it for my family. needed the money until a lot of. investing in people and the local community is the goal but it's not the only goal projects like this are good for his customers image cars made by a company that's investing in people and helping to preserve the rainforest are likely to sell better. but when hard tonneau 1st started out it was by no means clear that a big corporation like me w. would be interested in a small project in borneo. we finally make profit we actually start having sales to. really have 0 revenue. we just have to believe in the concept. isn't claiming that his emissions trading project will fundamentally change how we manage and preserve our natural resources. back when he

started climate change wasn't receiving the attention it is today. the concept of carbon trading was still in its infancy. partow took a risk starting out small but with a vision. and for him it's paying off. much of the economy is based. but that often has a negative impact on the bottom and. of believes the be should be looking at the value of each other and how we can work with the natural to build a sustainable economy. we've created our economy on the model of the hands. and the growing doubling in size every need but every few years or whatever. the model of the economy has to be what is the economic equivalent of a caterpillar running into a few but the thing is a lot of life you've got to look to nature to understand what kind of economy and

what an economy. we are in the kind of economy and the measurements of a clearly that was. the problem is that the only elements of value that we have measuring g.d.p. is produce goods and services out of it and that. is a whole lot of other stuff that's happening. the value of the base pollination is more than 150000000000 euros. that's about 110th of the global agricultural. but of course he's never send you any invoice. nature delivers a lot of value into the human economic fist and if you're just not measuring these values for. the days growth is destroying nature is destroying social fabric it's destroying

human health. care it's just trying to public goods while it's trying to create private wealth and whatever if there's no law which is going to do this why would you want i want to there's. one of the key elements of the green economy is that it was the creation of systems which deliver less environment. so things like sustainable agriculture which uses more labor is actually water that's sustainable agriculture but also uses family change produces water usage uses pollution increases by diversity increases. land base biodiversity and songs. and it would result in growth but a different kind of growth is. green growth. now green growth is definitely something to aspire to but not always something going to

live up to 12 history of human settlements have eaten into the habitats of other living beings it's more different in all than be hot but it's out on the brink of extinction locals are now coming together to try and protect the region's fish eating crocodiles. even as hatchlings they're easy to recognize with their long thin snouts. being up to 1000 kilograms as adults the guardiola is one of india's rarest animals its population has declined by around 98 percent since the 1940 s. . somebody who marched in her conservationist at the violet trust of india has studied these reptiles for years for quite some years. when men carry out there is a big board like a structure on the snout on the of the snout which is called color so it is different from the other 2 recordings found in india and other 2 gaurdian so they

conflict with human being but doesn't have any contact with human being. himalayan tributary of the ganges the gun duck descends into the indian plains at val making a go from me for years it was impossible to monitor and research the habitat and population of the carriers because social unrest in the region held scientists back around 2007 after the situation relaxed a study showed that only $200.00 surviving koreas remained in its entire distribution range prompting the i.u.c.n. to recognise the species ask critically endangered. many places pipes and local people the their god. so these are the reasons behind declining population that even the most important reason is it was enough time to banks the dismissal of the area we have been asked for it. and it affects the populace.

a dam is causing the erosion of the banks each time the gates are open the stored water flows into the river causing a fast current the w.t. i team is trying to coordinate with the authorities to regulate the release of water at least during the breeding time. but other work also has to be done. are considered relatively harmless to eat only fish once found in the region from pakistan to myanmar now they're only found in india bangladesh and w.t.r. knows community involvement is essential in protecting them local fisherman here monitor the reptiles and then mist. yeah subject after making intimate they are on be there we were asked to check on creole nests and whenever we spot anything we call the environmentalists and inform the

said to keep looking and all new findings. for the year there were about the quantity was left. once the nest is identified it is shifted from the river bank to a safer area guardiola eggs typically take about 70 days to incubate the fisherman keep an eye on the eggs until the babies ariel's hatch and reach the water in 2014 the w.t.r. released satellite back which are still in these waters now which is about preserving their habitat. funny that. last year we moved a proposal in the state board for wildlife to notify a critical area of about 10140 kilometers of the river i was up on the recent is a means giving it a status of a protected area if you give it the status of one the reason is that it will

involve locals in quandaries and a plus there won't be any land use change in that he was the banks so it is going to be a good estate it is going to be a long time can the reason you know activity on the recent acts and for real for police and in the going to revert to conservation efforts are helping the species to bounce back to did these deep waters hold one of the largest populations of cardiology again but balancing the needs of the local people with the requirements of graveyards and other via life will be a long term challenge. now i will admit that the systems we have created as a species make it very difficult to choose them solving the involvement will making more money for many of us but even the smallest conscious choices we make like using a reusable coffee mug amending a leaky tap will orientals more and more towards mending the imbalance i will leave you with that cotton so you the next week please stay safe and dig good care of

yourself and your loved ones go back.
