The ‘Combining Forces’ program was established to bring together the public and private sectors’ thinking on natural capital. The objective is to foster a greater mutual understanding of different approaches to the assessment of natural capital and to combine efforts towards the greater aim of ensuring that our relationship with nature is accounted for and included in decision-making. Informed by a consultation exercise involving workshops, webinars, interviews and a survey targeting key stakeholders from different areas of practice, this document sets out five recommended priority areas for further work on Combining forces.
