The Dasgupta Review report, The Economics of Biodiversity, was published at the beginning of February. It is an important document, on a par with Nicholas Stern's The Economics of Climate Change published in 2006 - not least because it has been commissioned and published by HM Treasury rather than by an environment ministry. Its timing is significant, coming in the year of both the United Nations Biodiversity Conference currently scheduled for May in China and the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) scheduled to be held in Glasgow in November and chaired by the UK Government.
