IFC, Coalition Partner to Develop Framework For Valuing 'Natural Capital' in Business

摘要

The International Finance Corp. (IFC) and the Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) for Business Coalition will work together to develop and pilot a global framework for valuing "natural capital" in business decisions. Their natural capital protocol will seek to harmonize the growing number of approaches for assigning value to environmental assets, such as minerals or land, and externalities, such as damages from climate change or the depletion of natural resources, to promote better measurement, monitoring and management.
