Saving our planet
Three research papers covering the economic importance of saving our planet.
The Economics of Biodiversity: The Dasgupta Review
The Independent Review on the Economics of Biodiversity led by Professor Sir Partha Dasgupta.
The Review develops the idea of sustainable development by constructing a grammar for
understanding our engagements with Nature – what we take from it, how we transform what
we take from it and return to it, why and how in recent decades we have disrupted Nature’s
processes to the detriment of our own and our descendants’ lives, and what we can do to
change direction.

Posthuman Affirmative Business Ethics: Reimagining Human–Animal Relations Through Speculative Fiction
Posthuman affirmative ethics relies upon a fluid, nomadic conception of the ethical subject who develops affective, material and immaterial connections to multiple others. This paper considers what posthuman affirmative business ethics would look like, and to reflect on the shift in thinking and practice this would involve.
