We zullen niet langer toestaan dat ondoordachte milieuvernietiging wordt beschouwd als economische vooruitgang

The 52nd United Nations Statistical Commission, on March 2021, has adopted the ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฆ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ง๐ฏ๐ข๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฅ-๐๐๐จ๐ง๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ โ๐๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ (๐๐๐๐ ๐๐)
This new statistical framework will enable countries to measure their natural capital and understand the immense contributions of nature to our prosperity and the importance of protecting it.
According to the United Nations, more than half of global gross domestic product (GDP) depends on the earth’s natural capital – ranging from pollination by bees, water uptake by forests, and the use of wild plants for medicine.
At the same time, that capital has declined by 40% in the past two decades alone. Humanity has radically changed three-quarters of the earth’s surface and two-thirds of the earth’s water surface through its economic activities.
The SEEA EA must address one of the biggest problems of GDP: that environmental damage is not part of it. Nature is invisible in GDP. Simply put, a tree does not count in GDP until it is felled. And prosperity will only grow by changing nature into building land or farmland. The SEEA EA will change this approach.
