Announcement of the second webcast Earth Debate on 22 February
The second of four webcast Earth Debates (www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/biodiversity/earth-debates//) in advance of Rio+20 will be webcast live at 19.00 GMT on Wednesday 22 February. 'Beyond GDP – how do we measure progress?' will be chaired by BBC environment correspondent Richard Black. The theme has a particular link to biodiversity loss and ecosystem services as GDP takes no account of the depreciation of natural capital. What questions would you like the experts to answer?
