What a Living Whale Is Worth — and Why the Economy Should Protect Nature | Ralph Chami | TED



How much is one living blue whale worth in the fight against climate change? A lot more than you may think, says financial economist Ralph Chami. He explains the value of bringing the language of dollars and cents to conservation — and offers his vision of a new economy that would profit off regenerating nature, not extracting from it.

  1. The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, Silver and digital currencies (BTC,ETH…)

  2. The Creator(God) has created every creature to facilitate human being. Thanks Almighty and thank you so much Mr.Ralph for sharing eye opening knowledge around the globe. Love & respect from Pakistan 🇵🇰

  3. What about corruption that is struggling these countries ? Valuation of nature won't be making advantages to the powerful and the richs (as always) ? This idea seems to be a smooth utopia so far…

  4. Economy is a made up word describing a counties commerce. It has no effect on military sonar. No effect on pollution from the navy, beaches, ships, etc. Nor does it stop cloud seeding whose materials trickle into the oceans. You stop this by actually wanting to stop pollution. Not by taxing an unrelated element that makes up nearly all living organisms on the planet. Or by forcing regular Jane's and John's to pay for it through bs economic sanctions.

  5. fact one whale will feed 10,000 Japenese, and they actually hurt the environment by the amount of krill they eat because the krill eat so much plankton with uses carbon dioxide

  6. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market. i was at a seminar and the host spoke about making over $972,000 within 3 Months with a capital of $200,000. i need to know how to go about it.
