Sir David Attenborough and IMF's Christine Lagarde on “Hope and the Youth” | Nature & Global Economy

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde chats with Sir David Attenborough at the "Balancing Nature and the Global Economy" seminar during the 2019 Spring Meetings. Nature and economic progress often have a conflicting relationship. While water, forests and other natural resources make life and industry possible, the demands of a growing economy are putting unsustainable pressures on the global climate and vital ecosystems. In a warning to policymakers that time is running out, Sir David Attenborough spoke about the need for international action to save the natural world from extinction.
