Dasgupta Review: Nature’s value must be included in economics to preserve biodiversity
Story: Fred Lewsey
Nature is a “blind spot” in economics. We can no longer afford for it to be absent from accounting systems that dictate national finances, or ignored by economic decision makers.
This is according to an independent review on the economics of biodiversity, produced by Professor Sir Partha Dasgupta from the University of Cambridge.
Commissioned by the UK Treasury in 2019, and published ahead of this year’s Convention on Biological Diversity taking place in China, the review is expected to help set the agenda for the UK Government’s 25-year environment plan.
