Session 5 of a 5 part series on Valuing Natural Capital & Local Communities for Business in Eastern & Southern Africa:
This webinar series aims to build awareness of the relevance and potential of a capitals approach for decision-making in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Eastern & Southern Africa.

The series will build on the outcomes and insights delivered through the online African Forum on Green Economy – Investing in Natural Capital for a Resilient Africa, organised by the Capitals Coalition, IUCN and partners, in 2020. This new series will feature and discuss practical examples, opportunities and tools for SMEs in Eastern & Southern Africa to include the value of natural capital and local communities in decision-making.

In this final webinar, we’ll be summarizing the outcomes of the series and discussing what is needed now for enterprises in Eastern & Southern Africa to embed the value of natural capital and communities in their decision-making. We’ll be joined by representatives from business, finance, government and civil society to explore opportunities for creating an enabling environment to ensure ambition turns to action.
