Mainstreaming Natural Capital and Ecosystem Services into Development Policy
Editat de Pushpam Kumaren Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2021
The development of the ecosystem services paradigm has enhanced our understanding of natural capital as an indispensable form of capital asset along with produced and human capital. This book addresses what could be the possible pathways to mainstream natural capital assets into development policies and what is currently known about the economic values of ecosystem services. A series of innovative tools to help policy makers and planners account for natural capital and ecosystem services in sectoral and macroeconomic policies have been explored and their application at the national and regional scale has been demonstrated. Several detailed case studies are presented in which the understanding of ecosystem services values has successfully informed decisions, including examples from Chile, South Africa, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Vietnam and the Aral Sea in Central Asia. These provide the critically important insights, lessons learned and means and mechanisms for policy makers to incentivize protection and discourage degradation of ecosystems and the services they provide.
Mainstreaming Natural Capital and Ecosystem Services into Development Policy is designed to help decision makers at all levels, including governments, businesses, multilevel development banks and individuals to integrate ecosystems and their services into their decision making.

Joyce Msuya, Acting Head of UN Environment and Assistant Secretary General, UN
"This collection of papers contains foundational material on a largely unchartered field of enquiry. On working through the chapters readers who have struggled all these years to understand the notion of sustainable development will wonder how and why it could have been that the field remained unexplored despite its central importance in people's lives." Professor Sir Partha Dasgupta, Cambridge and Leader, Global Review of Biodiversity and Economy, HM Treasury, UK
"By highlighting advances in the science and practice of evaluating ecosystem services, this volume will help to improve decisions that affect natural capital. The case studies presented provide excellent examples of how this has been accomplished in countries throughout the world." Maureen Cropper, Distinguished University Professor and Economics Chair, University of Maryland, USA
"This book is an important milestone in presenting detailed case studies from around the world illustrating how ecosystem services values have successfully informed policy decisions. The lessons learned are instructive for all policy makers, practitioners and scholars wishing to understand how natural capital and ecosystems can be maintained and enhanced for a more sustainable world."
