MADBLUE FIVE OCEANS AWARDS
For its transcendent trajectory and its remarkable contribution to the configuration of positive economies for nature, which have established the pillars of an economic system that favours environmental sustainability and equity.
Ralph Chami has more than 32 years of experience as a financial economist, 25 of them at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He has been a consultant to the World Bank and the private sector. He is co-founder of Blue Green Future and Rebalance Earth, and a visiting professor at Williams College and the University of Victoria. He is an expert on macro-financial issues, fragile states, financial inclusion, financial market development, banking regulation and risk management.
Ralph recently retired from the IMF to work on climate change and biodiversity loss, developing a framework for valuing natural capital, fauna and flora, in order to build an equitable and nature-positive economy.
He has developed the field of “science-based finance” and is a sought-after speaker on the development of nature-friendly markets. His work on the valuation of natural capital has been presented at TED2022, TEDx Florence.
