Getting the finance industry to think longer-term is critical to addressing the climate crisis, said Inger Andersen, executive director of the U.N. Environment Programme at the ReutersImpact conference
"We can cut the proverbial forest and have a great quarterly return. We can fish the proverbial oceans empty and have a great quarterly return. But we need to think about the long term," Andersen said in an interview at the Reuters Impact conference.
"Let me leave this absolutely clear: Loss of biodiversity means loss of the planet’s ability to sustain us," she said. Inger Andersen, , the World Bank's Vice President for the Middle East and North Africa region, makes remarks as Shanta Devarajan, , the World Bank's chief economist for MENA and communications manager Heba Shams listen, as she discusses political turmoil and economics in the region at a news conference during the IMF and World Bank's 2013 Annual Fall Meetings, in Washington, October 10, 2013.
