Pricing the Priceless: The Financial Transformation to Value the Planet, Solve the Climate Crisis, and Protect Our Most Precious Assets by Paula DiPerna. A powerful 'must read' for thought leaders, activists, and business executives, this book is a deep dive into the frontier of finance and our value of this planet. Bridging the tangible and intangible, DiPerna investigates a critical question of rising economic and social inspiration: What is money for?

Features

Renowned environmental strategist, speaker, world traveler and author Paula DiPerna brings a unique voice and optic to de-mystify and unveil today’s most fascinating financial disruption—pricing the priceless to flip conventional ideas of how we value natural assets and why.

She asks the provocative question long ignored: Why do we value the indispensable atmosphere at zero, but dispensable production in the trillions? She digs into alternatives, with real-life examples from around the globe of fascinating and pioneering financial innovations—controversial and paradoxical, but essential.

The author also examines:

  • Fascinating new financial inventions and experiments—insurance, bonds, markets, investment funds—all aimed at pricing what is precious and vital to human well-being
  • How the great current intergenerational shift in wealth and attitudes is redefining investment trends and the idea of what constitutes wealth and return
  • How climate change and other urgent environmental problems now require entirely new financial thinking to trigger solutions
  • How once-radical ideas about measuring economic progress are now re-imagining the very purpose of capitalism
  • Why finance needs critical re-invention to remain credible in the face of increasing public skepticism of business-as-usual economic practice

In the book, you’ll travel from rainforests to Wall Street, Board Rooms to the Vatican, coral reefs to mangroves to China’s carbon markets.
