DESCRIPTION: Seminar Title: Signs of a Healthy Economy: Redefining Economic
  Value \n\n Abstract: What makes an economy truly healthy? In this lunchti
 me seminar\, Mieke Siebers\, Executive Director of the Foundation for Sust
 ainable Development\, explores the role of our economic systems and how we
  can rethink economic value in the face of climate change and biodiversity
  loss. From scientific standards on ecosystem services to natural capital 
 accounting\, she will show how business and management can help build resi
 lient\, mission-driven economies fit for the 21st century. Drawing on thin
 kers like Mariana Mazzucato and Kate Raworth\, the session invites student
 s and faculty to reflect on a central question: what does living well mean
 \, how should our economic systems reflect it and what is the role of busi
 ness and accounting in this new era? \n\n Bio: Mieke Siebers is a leader i
 n fostering collaboration and innovation at the\nintersection of ecosystem
  services\, nature valuation\, and sustainable decision-making. As Executi
 ve Director of the Foundation for Sustainable Development (FSD)\, she driv
 es initiatives that bridge science\, policy\, and practice to advance the 
 economic valuation of nature\, including through the Ecosystem Services Va
 luation Database\n(ESVD).\nMieke specializes in business development and c
 ross-sector networking\, championing transdisciplinary approaches to addre
 ss complex environmental challenges. She has led dissemination efforts for
  public-private partnership projects\, including collaborations with Wagen
 ingen Economic Research\, Allianz\, Deloitte\, and ING\, focusing on datas
 ets that assess the macroeconomic effects of ecosystem services loss and t
 he costs and benefits of nature-based solutions (NbS). Together with her t
 eam\, she has also supported the World Bank in developing a global dataset
  on NbS costs and benefits\, and co-authored studies with ASN Bank\, and t
 he Municipality of Eindhoven to quantify the monetary value of impacts on 
 ecosystem services.\nAn active member of international networks\, Mieke ch
 aired the Ecosystem Services working group for financial institutions with
 in PBAF and was delegation lead for the Ecosystem Services Partnership (ES
 P) at key events\, including CBD COP16. She firmly believes that monetary 
 valuation of ecosystem services provides the essential language to shift f
 rom business-as-usual to nature-based solutions and foster a more sustaina
 ble future. \n\n Note: Tea\, coffee\, and sandwiches will be provided in f
 ront of Café Jolt (Lower Ground Floor) at 2 pm. \n\n Photographs will be 
 taken during this seminar and may be shared on social media. If you do not
  wish to appear\, please notify tbs.research@tcd.ie. \n
