Abstract

In this chapter Muddiman draws together the issues identified in previous Chapters and sets out to establish an alternative model for bringing together the environment and economics paying particular attention to both the concept of Ecosystem Services and the potential to embed environmental issues firmly within the financial framework. In particular, this Chapter looks critically at issues of credit provision, land ownership and property rights and the use of sound money. This Chapter presents a completely new approach to environmental valuation. It proposes the establishment of a biodiversity backed financial vehicle, as part of the Special Drawing Right system of the IMF, using blockchain technology to facilitate its use as a global means of settling international debts.
