The pursuit of profit pays scant regard to the underlying cost of using up the planet\u2019s capital.\nThat\u2019s the familiar story that we hear about capitalists. But a growing number of voices are claiming that big business and nature in fact make perfect partners.\nIntelligence Squared, in partnership with\xa0The Nature Conservancy, brought together some of the world\u2019s leading conservation experts, along with voices from the worlds of finance and industry, to ask whether working in tandem with nature is the soundest investment that business can make.\nCHAIR\nMatthew Taylor - Chief Executive of the RSA and soon-to-be Chief Executive of the NHS Confederation\nFEATURING\nTony Juniper - Sustainability adviser\nNick Dearden - Director of the World Development Movement\nPeter Kareiva - Chief scientist for The Nature Conservancy\nJeremy Oppenheim - Senior partner at McKinsey\nLucy Siegle - Ethical living columnist for The Observer\n\nThis event was recorded at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, in London, on the 9th of February 2015\n\u2014\nWe\u2019d love to hear your feedback and what you think we should talk about next, who we should have on and what our future debates should be.\xa0\nSend us an email or voice note with your thoughts to podcasts@intelligencesquared.com or Tweet us @intelligence2.\xa0\nAnd if you\u2019d like to support our mission to foster honest debate and compelling conversations, as well as ad-free podcasts, exclusive bonus content, early access and much more, become a supporter of Intelligence Squared today.\n\nJust visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
