Um im Kampf gegen die Klimakrise umweltfreundliche Investitionen voranzutreiben, arbeiten Forscher und Forscherinnen an der Preisetikettierung der Natur – von der Biene bis zum Baum. Der Gedanke dahinter: Wird kein Preis festgelegt, ist der Wert automatisch null. Dass bei der Natur aber das Gegenteil der Fall ist, erkannte auch die Finanzwelt und weiß es nun für sich zu nutzen – nicht ohne Gegenwind.

United States-based researchers have conducted a study to show how green spaces in cities promote physical activity among city dwellers. The research is intended to complement a tool that maps where city dwellers can enjoy the many benefits of nature.
It s no secret that physical activity is good for your health: it reduces stress and anxiety, it s assertive, it makes you feel more fulfilled and creative. But living near a park, community garden or other green space can also help you combat a sedentary lifestyle, says a new study by Stanford researchers.
