Our economies currently exploit nature, despite our complete dependence on it, leading to accelerating environmental degradation. Sir Partha Dasgupta's Review on The Economics of Biodiversity

Our economies currently exploit nature, despite our complete dependence on it, leading to accelerating environmental degradation. Sir Partha Dasgupta's Review on The Economics of Biodiversity proposes redefining the ecology-economy relationship by applying an economic lens to value the natural world.

This approach aims to transform our extractive relationship with nature into a sustainable one. An expert panel will discuss the Review's findings and recommendations, exploring how to rebuild our economic system with sustainable prosperity at its core.

Sir Partha DasGupta, Frank Ramsey Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Cambridge, discusses the economic significance of natural capital. He highlights how ecosystems, including farmland and forests, have historically been overlooked in economic considerations.

In his article, "Nature's Role in Sustainable Economic Development," published in Philosophical Transactions B for the Royal Society's 350th anniversary, Sir Partha advocates for integrating nature into economic development. Wendy Barnaby interviews him in a podcast about these crucial insights.
