UK Government's Dasgupta Review

The Dasgupta Review, commissioned by the UK government in 2021, assesses the value of nature and its impact on the economy. Led by economist Partha Dasgupta, it argues that natural resources—like clean air, water, and biodiversity—are essential for our economy and must be preserved. The review encourages integrating environmental sustainability into economic planning, emphasizing that ignoring nature's value can lead to economic decline and societal harm. It calls for policies that promote sustainable development, ensuring that future generations inherit a healthy planet and economy.
