Natural Capital Accounting and the Sustainable Development Goals

16 Sep 2019

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to eradicate poverty and place all countries on a sustainable development path by 2030. This requires better and more integrated information on how the economy, environment and society interact. Natural capital accounting can help deliver the SDGs by making explicit the links between the economy and the environment, enabling sustainable policy decisions and actions, and monitoring progress.
