Economic Factors Underlying Biodiversity Loss with Partha Dasgupta, Simon Levin, and Georg Kell
Boston Consulting Group, 2023
What's inside?
Economic resilience and dynamism depend on protecting biodiversity.
Recommendation
Gross domestic product – GDP – tracks the output of an economy. But relying on this sole data point ignores the negative aspects of that output on the environment. In this illuminating Boston Consulting Group podcast, host Martin Reeves interviews economists and sustainability experts Sir Partha Dasgupta, Simon Levin and Georg Kell. Their discussion centers on how economic activity threatens the global ecosystem and biodiversity. Business leaders will find this an authoritative examination of the linkage between environmental and economic vibrancy.
