In this inaugural lecture Sir Partha Dasgupta, one of the UK’s most eminent economists, traced ecological loss back to power, knowledge and agency.  He highlighted how important it is for local voices to put forward their own answers to ecological crises, rather than have external solutions foisted upon them, which can often be destructive.  After the lecture, Dasgupta was joined in conversation by Dr Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury and Chair of Christian Aid. |
