  Welcome to the LSE events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.

• 00:07

  Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.

• 00:14

  Welcome to the public lecture on forest finance and the future economic risks and nature loss.

• 00:23

  I am Rob Pettolano.

• 00:25

  I'm the executive director here at CTEX, the Center for Economic Transition Expertise,

• 00:30

  and it's a pleasure to be here for a few reasons.

• 00:33

  One, I just started two months ago, so it's a pleasure to be at LSE.

• 00:37

  Two, it's a pleasure to be with this distinguished panel,

• 00:40

  and I've known some of them for years and have heard them speak on these topics,

• 00:45

  so it's wonderful to get them here together.

• 00:47

  And three, it's wonderful to be here with you because this is actually really a serious issue.

• 00:53

  So while it's a pleasure to be here, what we're talking about really is startling and quite serious.

• 00:58

  And educating people from students to professors to even people in the field who are working on this,

• 01:04

  sharing knowledge with each other is really critical.

• 01:08

  Before I go any further, I want to do two things with respect to housekeeping.

• 01:13

  First, as I think many of you in the audience already know, if there is a fire drill,

• 01:17

  you just go out the way you came and the folks here who helped see you will help get you out.

• 01:24

  And then secondly,

• 01:26

  I just wanted to thank Maria Wayford

• 01:28

  because she has been managing this behind the scenes for the past few weeks and also prepping and orchestrating many of us.
