Barbier is known, since 1989, for the promotion of frameworks for valuing nature in economic terms. [2] In 2009, He authored the United Nations’ Global Green New Deal, which was a strategy for greening the global economic recovery after the Great Recession. [3] In 2010, he further elaborated on this strategy in A Global Green New Deal: Rethinking the Economic Recovery , which connected the environment to climate change to human energy and water security, and to human poverty. [4] He has also proposed strategies for the G20 and G7 on how best to green the post-COVID economic recovery. [5] [6]

Barbier has influenced international environmental policy, including influence with the Australian Greens Party. [7] Barbier’s 1987 article [8] is credited as the first representation of sustainability in terms of the popular three intersecting circles, or Venn diagram. [9]   He has also written extensively on the role of natural capital in sustainable development. [10]
