Welcome to GreenMoney’s October, 2025 issue on Biodiversity: Investing in Nature. This uniquely inspiring issue highlights the fact that over half of the global economy – a staggering $44 trillion in business – is dependent on Nature’s services. Nicole Miller, CEO of Biomimicry 3.8 makes the business case for nature-inspired innovation; Leslie Samuelrich, president of Green Century Funds emphasizes the key role companies play in the future of biodiversity; Jason Britton of Newday Investments underscores why your portfolio needs biodiversity; and Craig Wichner of Farmland LP reveals the benefits of AI for regenerative agriculture. As well, we feature a NYT Climate Forward keynote video with André Corrêa do Lago, president of COP30 in Brazil and an uplifting podcast with Janine Benyus on ‘Biomimicry and Designing with Life’s Intelligence’. Enjoy.

Featured Podcast

Janine Benyus on Biomimicry and Designing with Life’s Intelligence – Nature is not just a place — it’s a teacher, a guide and a blueprint for innovation. Willow is joined by Janine Benyus, biologist, author and co-founder of the Biomimicry Institute, whose groundbreaking work has transformed the way we think about designing with Nature rather than against it. Together, they outline the principles of biomimicry — the practice of looking to ecosystems, organisms and natural patterns for sustainable solutions to human challenges. From the way forests manage resources to the aerodynamics of fish, Janine reveals how nature has already solved many of the problems we face today. The Nature Of with Willow Defebaugh of Atmos

COP30: Shaping the Next Phase of Global Climate Policy – In November, world governments will gather in the heart of the Amazon for COP30, the United Nation’s climate talks. Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago, the president of COP30, has called out “economic denial” as the new front in the climate fight. As the battle to shape the future of global climate action reaches a critical moment, we open Climate Forward by pressing Corrêa do Lago on what must change — and who’s still standing in the way.
