The People's Climate March saw hundreds of thousands of people in the US call for climate action. PAVAN SUKHDEV: OUR NEW PRESIDENT Few people understand the links between the environment and the economy better than Mr Sukhdev. From 2008 to 2011 he headed up the UN Environment Programme's Green Economy Initiative and its landmark TEEB (The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity) study. These were hugely influential in demonstrating that conserving ecosystems and biodiversity is crucial to sustained economic growth. As the founder and CEO of consultancy firm GIST Advisory, Mr Sukhdev has helped governments and corporations discover, measure, value and manage their impacts on natural and human capital. His influence, leadership, knowledge and passion will be a major asset for WWF. WWF-INT Annual Review 2017 page 5
