Showing the worth: NCA and the design of payments for ecosystem services
Natural capital accounting (NCA) improves our understanding of how ecosystems or natural capital become wealth. It helps identify dependencies and risks: sectors with a high reliance on ecosystems are also exposed to uncertainties from climate change. NCA can be a tool to inform the design of instruments, such as payments for ecosystem services, that promote better resource management.
