Lancet Commission on Green Growth Post Covid. Mark Freeman and I wrote a short piece on how CBA of public projects should reflect the insurance value of avoiding disasters, like pandemics. Meaning, preparedness is important. Ian Bateman LEEP shorturl.at/lqz34

After the economic nonsense and environmental degradation proposed by Rees-Mogg and Co promoting fracking and curtailing wind and solar power, it’s important to recognise that some in the Conservative Party are promoting sensible policies for cheaper, greener energy

Come and join LEEP and get involved in frontier research working with natural, physical, mathematical, economic and social sciences to tackle the challenge of decision making not just for woodland but for all land use. Excellent long term career potential
