Description
The policy brief highlights the importance of integrating natural capital accounting in implementing the SDGs. It 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 links between the economy and the environment, enabling sustainable policy decisions and actions, and monitoring progress.
