Protecting nature makes financial sense. Natural solutions for flood protection, erosion mitigation etc. are cheaper and more effective than artificial solutions.

Framing climate action as a cost is misleading A cost is when extreme weather causes damage and you have to repair it Spending money to avoid the damage in the first place, however, is an investment Climate action is an investment in a safer future, and cheap at any price
