resources nexus…Natural capital practice

Working with projects in land, biodiversity, energy, water and resource-based assets that are part of the natural capital equation, a new approach is emerging. I seek to identify and find solutions that offer returns and enduring benefits to people and planet. Capital efficiency in energy and infrastructure development are driving forces in sustainable development. Supply chains increasingly feed into resources issues, too. A commentary after a Seattle visit in July 2022 explains some of the thinking of evolving sustainability — systems and scale. Much has been advanced since then, residing in pages upon pages of notes and many-erased whiteboards.
