"Gandhi understood that non-violence is not a weapon of the weak, it is the strength of the courageous. It is the power to resist injustice without hatred; confront oppression without cruelty; build peace through dignity, not domination." - @antonioguterres on #NonViolenceDay

An engaging and highly relevant Panel on Statistical Value of Life! The Report launched could prove to be a lamp post for env policy espcially in CBA and other applied welfare economics.

GDP is broken. What should the Middle East measure instead?

99% of the global population breathes unclean air, leading to life-threatening health concerns for millions. To address this, stronger air quality regulations are critical. Here is how to measure efforts to #BeatAirPollution: https://t.co/8a5wrDbxh5

As of Thursday, humankind has used up more natural resources than can be renewed this year. The Earth’s natural systems cannot keep up with our demands. Time to rethink the way we produce & consume - making sustainable choices. #EarthOvershootDay

Led by Morocco, Philippines and Spain, the Beyond GDP   in New York yesterday clearly expressed that Natural capital and human capital must be accounted inclusively. @UNEP @UNEP_NAmerica @UNDESASocial @UNEP_Europe

Adam Smith did not talk about Income, he did emphasized Wealth. Now Natural Wealth is the key. Looking forward to reading this great contribution from Sir Partha.

The ocean… 🌊💙 sustains life, regulates climate, hosts biodiversity, buffers storms, produces oxygen, holds untold wonder. Yet, we’ve polluted its depths and pushed it to the brink. On #WorldOceanDay and every day, let’s act to #SaveOurOcean.

World Ocean Day (June 8) requires we design and develop global std for measuring, valuing, and managing the ocean. Netter Ocean governance would allow uninterrupted movement of 1000 miles of sea turtles to lay eggs and other ecosystem services.

World Ocean Day (June 8) requires we design and develop global std for measuring, valuing, and managing the ocean through integrated data. Sea titles travelling 1000 miles to lay eggs in the Caribbean coasts must go uninterrupted!

Trillions of microplastics pollute our seas, are ingested by marine life and end up in the food we eat. Without decisive action, plastic pollution will only get worse. More from @UNEP on Thursday’s #WorldEnvironmentDay: https://t.co/Pw31ZcxBbx

Great going @rickykej ! Air Pollution is a bigger killer than even terror and war combined! @UNEP @UNDESA

"Plastic pollution is choking our planet – harming ecosystems, well-being, and the climate. Together, let’s end the scourge of plastic pollution and build a better future for us all." - @antonioguterres on #WorldEnvironmentDay

Happy World Environment Day! We, humans are embedded in Nature. Our GDP might look ever growing but well-being will remain either static or declining if Environment is not managed. Well -Being is not being Well Off!
