In this talk, Spash will be addressing the problem of value in environmental governance from the viewpoint that economists must stop ignoring the biophysical realities behind the biodiversity and climate crises.
An economics responding to these crises needs to understand both how the current economy is impacting on ecosystems and the basic structural mechanisms of the natural world, as well as understanding potentials that could be built on to create new and different kinds of economic systems.
