The Valuing Nature Programme is pleased to announce the publication of new set of Demystifying reports in time for the Annual Conference 2019.
The reports cover topics ranging from health metrics to social and shared values, the value of arts and arts research to cost-benefit analysis and green finance.
Carrying on the tradition of the Demystifying reports previously published (Health and Economic Valuation), these reports have focussed on the user.
A set of four new reports identifies the range of research and innovation (R&I) needs of key UK business sectors, to enable them to measure and value natural assets.
The reports cover three business sectors – built-infrastructure, land management and insurance/financial services – all of which substantially depend upon, and have significant impacts on, natural resources in the UK and beyond.
The reports have been published by the Valuing Nature Programme ahead of its annual conference.
