Description
Join WWF to discuss the implications, and the policy priorities to put nature at the heart of our economy, through a green recovery and beyond.
Now launched, The Dasgupta Review on the Economics of Biodiversity makes recommendations about how we must transform our economic system if people and planet are to prosper in future. As we begin to recover from COVID-19 and a turbulent year in world affairs, now is the time to work together and rebuild based on a new sustainable and resilient economic model.
