The current pandemic has created a disruption in our health, economic and natural systems. Questions exist about the current route of our society.

This session will discuss how governments can use a capitals approach to drive green recovery plans. It will first show how governments are using Natural Capital Accounting to inform policy decisions. And it will explore how the value of people and society can also be integrated into decision-making.

Having a systemic and integrated approach that looks at natural, human, social and produced capitals is paramount to recovery, both on a short as well as a long-term. We know it makes sense to invest in nature restoration to create jobs and economic recovery in the short term. Or to embed the value of nature and people in the incentive mechanisms to create long-term structural change.

Benefit from the Coalition’s unique overview of the capitals approach and community, gain insights into the latest thinking and developments and receive newsletters and project updates.
