Abstract

Compiles some of CIWEM's information on 'ecosystem services' and 'natural capital' into one easily digestible document, which: defines the terminology; provides the environmental and political context through which the terminology has developed; highlights where the strengths and weaknesses lie; addresses what values are considered and how they are defined; discusses the appropriateness of valuation tools, and the ethical and moral implications of monetary valuation; illustrates their application through case studies; offers suggestions for further discussion; and makes policy recommendations.
