Oxford Martin School, November 22, 2018

Joint lecture with The Rockefeller Foundation Economic Council on Planetary Health. Global health outcomes are unlikely to be sustainable if they are achieved at the expense of the integrity of the very ecosystems human societies depend on. Indeed, the modern economy appears to treat global health and natural systems as substitutes: as we achieve more of the first, more of the second deteriorates. But ecosystem integrity can be complementary to human health: under specific conditions, investing in the first can lead to improving returns on investments in the second.
