Professor Ian Bateman and Professor Georgina Mace - The natural capital approach: ecological and economic perspectives

Governments, businesses and NGOs are developing new metrics and tools to value and measure social, environmental and economic change in the context of Sustainable Development Goals and planetary health. Current approaches face limitations in addressing temporal and spatial dimensions of natural capital value.

This talk addresses emerging methodologies to measure natural capital and enable us to assess and measure ecological services and benefits more fully in economic analysis. The speakers bring perspectives from the ecological science and economics.
