Natural Capital for Development: Valuation, Investment and Policy.

Are you a government official or practitioner involved in decision-making and looking to better integrate nature into policies and investments across sectors? This course is for you. You will learn about Natural Capital Assessment, a process that makes the value of nature visible by mapping, modeling, and quantifying ecosystem services. Learn how to integrate natural capital into public policy and investment decisions, and apply nature-positive strategies that strengthen resilience, support sustainable economic growth, and enhance human well-being.
