ABOUT EARTH<br />
ECONOMICS<br />
Since 1998, the nonprofit organization <strong>Earth</strong> <strong>Economics</strong><br />
has been at the <strong>for</strong>efront of exploring and explaining<br />
the intricate relationship between human economies<br />
and natural systems. To meet the challenges of the 21st<br />
century, the goal of <strong>Earth</strong> <strong>Economics</strong> is to bridge the<br />
historic disconnect between the environment and the<br />
economy through new tools and principles that recognize<br />
and demonstrate the economic importance of our planet’s<br />
natural systems. Healthy communities depend on a healthy<br />
environment; by investing in nature, we are investing in<br />
our well-being and a sustainable future. When critical<br />
decisions are being made, and policies set, our aim at <strong>Earth</strong><br />
<strong>Economics</strong> is to provide nature a place at the negotiating<br />
table.<br />
<strong>Earth</strong> <strong>Economics</strong> is funded by private foundations, contracts<br />
and the generous support of people like you. Please visit<br />
