Natural capital must be integrated into decision making

Responding to the publication of the EFRA committee’s report on the Natural Environment White Paper, Ian Dickie, Aldersgate Group Director, said:

“The Committee is right to call for natural capital to be better integrated into Government decision-making, as highlighted in the Aldersgate Group’s “Pricing the Priceless” report last year. The Committee calls on the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister to lead a programme of action, but it should also demand leadership from the Treasury, which influences the way so many resources are used in the economy, in implementing that programme.”
