Natural Capital

An environmental podcast with a punny title? Yes, please!

Our paper on the AERI - Arctic Environmental Responsibility Index has just been made public: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bse.2698. AERI is an environmental ranking of 120 oil, gas, and mining companies that extract natural resources in the Arctic. The ranking was put together by an international team of 10 researchers from Canada, Finland, Greece, Norway, Russia, the UK, and Uzbekistan, drawing on the input of 173 experts based in 17 countries. The purpose of the index is to promote “a race to the top” among extractive companies and across the seven different Arctic jurisdictions by encouraging competition among companies on environmental protection. We therefore hope that the index will be spread as widely as possible.
