Training Program on Ecosystem Accounting, Follow-up course, Manilla
A Training Program on Ecosystem Accounting, Follow-up course, Manila, September 2014
Objectives: To support the development of ecosystem accounts for Southern Palawan and the Laguna Lake basin under the Phil-WAVES project. It will build on the introductory course on ecosystem accounting delivered in February 2014 and the progress made by both Technical Working Groups since in developing ecosystem accounts. The objective of this course is to develop a good understanding of Ecosystem Accounting and the analytical approaches used in Ecosystem Accounting with a specific focus on land accounting, biophysical modelling and valuation.
