Summary

The Dasgupta Review, commissioned by the UK Treasury and published in 2021, exposed the fundamental flaw in mainstream economics: that it fails to account for the true value of nature. As a result, we continue to deplete natural assets unchecked. This will erode GDP and lead to long term economic instability, and this trend is accelerating. 

While the Dasgupta Review provided an in depth diagnosis of the problem, it stopped short of offering solutions. In this report, we provide actionable proposals across three areas: the macroeconomy, microeconomy and political reform. Together, these will create a framework to factor nature properly into economic decision making.
