New economic research commissioned by the RSPB makes the financial case for closing the UK nature finance gap, quantifying both the cost of inaction and the opportunity of getting it right. This interactive session for senior business, finance and policy professionals tests that evidence in practice: Can the UK meet its nature and climate commitments alongside economic growth, within realistic budgets? The answer, as a hands-on exercise reveals, depends on whether nature is integrated into economic and climate decision-making or siloed from it. Closes with an opportunity for further discussion of where investment opportunities already exist. Speakers include: Professor Partha Dasgupta, Frank Ramsey Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Cambridge. Katie-Jo Luxton, Executive Director of Global Conservation for RSPB.
