The Value of the World Around Us – Sir Partha Dasgupta

Talk and supper with Sir Partha Dasgupta
6pm Thursday 14 May 2026

As revered Cambridge economist and author of ‘The Economics of Biodiversity: the Dasgupta Review’, commissioned by the UK government in 2021, Sir Partha is challenging how we think about global economics, growth and natural resources.

In his groundbreaking On Natural Capital, published in 2025, he asks, what if we were to put a value on nature just as we value everything else? The answers could, truly, change everything.

Sir David Attenborough says Sir Partha ‘provides the compass we urgently need….by bringing economics and ecology together, we can help save the natural world at what may be the last minute – and in doing so, save ourselves.’

Join Isabella Tree to hear Sir Partha’s bold and inspiring vision, with plenty of time for Q&A, a glass of bubbly, followed by book signing and three-course supper in the award-winning Knepp Wilding Kitchen.
