With our current economic system, we are consuming huge amounts of resources and destroying the web of life on earth. The recently published Dasgupta Review, commissioned by the UK Treasury, shows in 604 pages that biodiversity conservation must become a permanent feature in all areas of policy and economy. Protecting nature’s invaluable contributions to humankind is the critical challenge of the coming decades.
But how can this challenge be addressed and solved? These questions will be the focus of the exchange of international experts in the virtual discussion on 21 June 2021, 17–18.30 CET. The Museum für Naturkunde Berlin invites to the discussion, co-hosted by the Centre for Science and Policy (CSaP Cambridge).
