  • Title: Closing the Nature Deficit: Unlocking Nature’s Role in Economic Growth

    Description: Nature United and RBC Climate Action Institute invite you to the exclusive launch of their nature economy project, which includes a portfolio of case studies from natural resource sectors showcasing how investing in nature delivers measurable returns for people, the economy and the environment.

    As Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom push forward with major infrastructure projects in mining, forestry, agriculture and housing, there’s a critical question: are we fully recognizing the economic potential of our natural assets? From healthy soils to green infrastructure, nature provides essential foundations for long-term prosperity and supports economic growth.

    Hear from both Nature United's Executive Director Hadley Archer and RBC Climate Action Institute's Lisa Ashton to learn key insights, followed by a moderated panel with industry experts and Indigenous leaders who are at the forefront of the case studies showcasing how business and communities are achieving nature positive outcomes.

    The esteemed panelists joining us are:

    • Christine Smith-Martin, CEO at Coastal First Nations
    • Jill Bieri, Volgenau Virginia Coast Reserve
    • Program Director at The Nature Conservancy
    • Daniel Shemie, Global Director, Resilient Freshwater at The Nature Conservancy
    • Mike Nemeth, Senior Manager, Agricultural and Environmental Sustainability at Nutrien
