Enabling a Natural Capital Approach: Principles, Practice, and Insight (Dublin, Ireland)

You are invited to a special in-person session with eftec and TCD, who will share their experience in putting the natural capital approach into practice.

The event is supported by Natural Capital Ireland. It will build on actions set out in the National Biodiversity Action Plan (January 2024) and the NESC Natural Capital Accounting report (March 2024), to help address the need to build capacity in this area.

This opportunity is open to anyone who wants to explore how to integrate natural capital thinking and accounting in their work. Space is limited to ensure interactive sessions and to convene participants from different organisations.

We will showcase how to use natural capital accounts to make land use and management decisions, strategise about entry to nature markets and prioritise, monitor and report on private investment into nature.

We will tailor the event to your interests. During registration, we will ask about the sectors you are interested in. We will bring examples, including from unpublished work, to create lively discussion during the day.
