| Abstract | The No Charge? report reveals how a century of innovation in agriculture and industry has delivered unprecedented economic prosperity, but has damaged many of the natural systems on which that prosperity ultimately depends. The report looks at a range of natural “ecosystem services” – such as healthy soils, clean water, carbon storage, and flood prevention - that underpin economic growth and deliver natural solutions to 21st century problems. Together, they generate billions of pounds of hidden value to the UK economy each year, far outweighing the costs required to sustain them in a healthy, functioning state. |
