Mae Fa Luang Foundation Secretary-General Disapananda challenges the conventional "hungry people, lost forests" narrative at the 2026 Sustainability Forum. She proposes a "Nature-based Economy" model where businesses, financial institutions, communities, and government bridge gaps through nature-rights framing and investment-driven natural-capital accounting. The core message: prosperity and ecosystem health are reconcilable through proper valuation of natural resources in corporate finance and policy alignment.
