UCL ISR Public Lecture

'Natural Capital – Valuing the Planet' by Prof Dieter Helm CBE, University of Oxford

Date: 10 Dec 2015

Time: 17:30 - 19:30

Location: Roberts G08 Sir David Davies LT, Malet Place, London, WC1E 7JE

Alongside global warming, the destruction of the world’s biodiversity and natural capital threatens to undermine economic growth. Another 3 billion people and a world economy some 16 times bigger by 2100 threatens environmental destruction on a scale which would make the twentieth century look positively benign. On current policies, natural capital - those assets nature gives us for free - will be massively depleted and undermine economies. To put growth on a sustainable basis requires that natural assets are taken seriously - in national and corporate accounts, on balance sheets, and by providing compensation for damage, pollution taxes and a nature fund. This lecture sets out how to do this, how to start restoring natural capital, and why it is necessary for sustainable economic growth.

Every individual across the globe should have the right and ability to access adequate, safe, and nutritional food at all times. But achieving worldwide food security is not going to be easy. We face growing populations, changing diets, lack of good water and land, and the impact, already being felt, of climate change.

We can do it using the modern tools of agroecology, crop and livestock breeding, and smallholder-centred institutions, but it needs political leadership. Sir Gordon Conway, one of the world's foremost experts on global food needs, describes the challenges we face and the tools we need to overcome them.
