Valuing Nature Business Round Tables

The Valuing Nature Programme in collaboration with UK Research and Innovation has held High-Level Sector Round Tables with three key sectors: infrastructure, land management and insurance / financial services. 

The purpose of each Round Table was to:

• review current activity in each sector relating to measuring and valuing natural assets
• understand barriers and challenges to measuring and valuing natural assets in the sector
