THEME

This event will be an opportunity to hear from and engage in discussion with four experts on natural capital. Find out about how the natural capital accounting helps to inform and shape decisions about land use by highlighting the role natural systems play in providing essential services and benefits to society.

The discussion will cover a range of themes including natural capital accounting methodology and decision-support tools for forest managers to valuing the natural resources in our communities in relation to health and wellbeing.
