Nature’s role in a sustainable future

Richard Spencer, Director of Sustainability at ICAEW, Karen Ellis, Chief Economist at WWF-UK

ICAEW visited WWF-UK to learn more about the crucial role nature must play in any transition to net zero.

Richard Spencer, Director of Sustainability at ICAEW, sat down with Karen Ellis, Chief Economist at WWF-UK, to discuss why protecting the earth’s ecosystem and reversing nature loss must play a pivotal role in our transition to net zero. The interview, split into three parts (see below), also sees them discuss what governments and regulators must do – and why chartered accountants are so relevant to all this as well.

The role that accountants should play

As Karen Ellis says in this film, there is a big gap between the global sustainability goals that have been set by the world’s governments and what businesses need to do to achieve them. Professional accountants have a big part to play in closing that gap.
