The Economics of Biodiversity: The Dasgupta Review was published today. It is available to download here.

The Review calls for changes in how we think, act and measure economic success to protect and enhance our prosperity and the natural world. Grounded in a deep understanding of ecosystem processes and how they are affected by economic activity, the new framework presented by the Review sets out how we should account for Nature in economics and decision-making.

The Review comprises three documents: the Full Report, an Abridged Version, and its Headline Messages. On the same page you will find a collection of initial reactions to the Review from the worlds of academia, policy-making, advocacy and business.
