Natural Capital Approach

The Natural Capital Approach recognizes nature—like forests, water, and biodiversity—as valuable assets that provide essential services to people and the economy. Instead of viewing nature merely as an economic resource to exploit, this approach emphasizes preserving and enhancing these natural systems. By understanding their importance, we can make better decisions that balance economic growth with environmental sustainability, ensuring that natural resources are maintained for future generations. Essentially, it’s about acknowledging that a healthy environment is crucial for our well-being and prosperity.
