Overview
Following the publication of the Natural Capital Synthesis Reports as part of the Valuing Nature Programme, we ran a series of webinar sessions in early 2019. Each session featured a short presentation by a report author followed by questions and may be found at the links below:
Natural England has published new research on an emerging field of natural capital accounting, highlighting that Natural Nature Reserves managed by Natural England provide benefits of £36 million per annum, and are of economic value to local communities and society. These benefits include health benefits, flood alleviation, pollination, water and air quality.
A new report by Bonnie L Keeler et al. has been published which reviews the value and distribution of urban ecosystem services. Nature Sustainability, Springer Nature, 10 Jan 2019.
The sixth annual report to the Economic Affairs Committee was published by the Natural Capital Committee, an independent government advisory body, on the 29 January 2019.
