The Dasgupta Review: how can we embed nature into economic decision making?

The Green Alliance Podcast

Nature underpins our economy, but this is not currently reflected in economic decision making.

The Dasgupta Review, commissioned by the UK Treasury and published in 2021, sets out the strong case for changing our economic system to reflect that it does not exist outside of nature, but within it. It shows that, to prevent ongoing environmental destruction in the name of economic progress, we must use a measure of wealth that includes indispensable assets like nature on the balance books.

But how do we get there? What should the government, business and the financial sector do to shift the economic system towards to that ideal?

In this episode, you will hear from distinguished speakers on what’s necessary to implement the findings of The Dasgupta Review, so that we better value nature and can begin to restore our natural assets and wealth, avoiding counterproductive losses.
