 Guardian Unlimited | Life | David Pearce
David Pearce, who has died suddenly aged 63, was a pioneer of environmental economics - the branch of economics devoted to the relationship between economic growth, environmental pollution and social wellbeing - and a professor at University College London (UCL) from 1983 onwards, becoming emeritus professor in 2004.
Pearce was brought into the Department of the Environment in 1989 as personal adviser to Chris Patten, then secretary of state, and contributed to the major environment white paper of 1990 - though he was disappointed to find his radical ideas relegated to an appendix by wary mandarins.
He was included in the United Nations "Global 500" Roll of Honour in 1989, was awarded the OBE in 2000 and last July was the first recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award of the European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists.
