Abstract
The services of ecological systems and the natural capital stocks that
produce them represent a significant portion of the total value of the
planet. Because these services are not fully captured in markets or
adequately quantified in terms comparable with economic services and
manufactured capital, they are often given too little weight in policy
decisions and this neglect may ultimately compromise the sustainability
of humans in the biosphere. This workshop will synthesize the large (but
scattered) existing information about the value of ecosystem services and
natural capital and present it in a form useful for ecologists,
economists, policy makers, and the general public. It will also be
helpful in valuing natural capital in "green" national accounting systems
which are currently being proposed in many countries.
