Increasing resource use is the main driver of a triple planetary crisis: climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. Unfortunately, we as humans have failed to manage our global portfolio of assets sustainably. Estimates show that between 1992 and 2014, produced capital per person doubled, and human capital per person increased by about 13% globally; but that the stock of natural capital per person declined by nearly 40%.

We have been taking nature for granted, and while humanity has prospered immensely in recent decades, the ways in which we have achieved such prosperity means that it has come at a devastating cost to nature and the environment. The main reason for such destruction has been our consumption patterns which today are characterised by a ‘buy and discard’ mentality.
