\u2013 David Attenborough warns Davos summit \u2013 \u2018The Garden of Eden is no more\u2019
\u2013 \u201cIf we wreck the natural world, we wreck ourselves\u201d warns Attenborough
\u2013 If we destroy our environment, it will badly impact our economies and markets
\u2013 We must put the environment at the heart of our financial and monetary systems
\u2013 \u201cFuture proof\u201d our economies, our currencies, our finances & our pensions with gold

The world faces some very serious ecological challenges due to the pollution, destruction and over consumption of our natural resources. Climate change is just one of the challenges facing us, but tends to be focused on almost exclusively alas \u2013  to the detriment of many other serious environmental risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is much cognitive dissonance between the increasingly alarming warnings that we are damaging the world \u2018beyond repair\u2019 and the complete complacency of investors and market participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a complete failure to \u2018join the dots\u2019 between environmental challenges of today and how they may impact our economies, markets and indeed our investments and already vulnerable pensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The markets and our economies are completely dependent on our planet\u2019s ecology. If the environment is destroyed so to will be our societies and economies and companies and governments as we know them today will also be impacted and many will disappear with obvious ramifications for the outlook for stock and bond markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notion that our global economy and financial markets including frothy risk assets such as stock and bond markets would not be impacted by these serious environmental risks is irrational and complacent in the extreme. Our economies and markets are obviously dependent on our planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems increasingly likely that the severe environmental challenges of today will badly impact our economies and indeed financial markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
