Natural Capital Accounting and Ecosystem Services Valuation

African economies depend heavily on natural resources, yet the value of ecosystems rarely appears in business or government accounts. This programme introduces natural capital accounting and methods for valuing the services that nature provides. Delegates learn to make the economic case for conservation and to integrate natural capital into decision making.
