This publication explores the potential of natural capital accounting, particularly the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA), to address a wide range of policy questions related to biodiversity. With a focus on policymakers at various levels, who are responsible for developing or implementing biodiversity policies or policies that are dependent on or impact biodiversity, this report aims to provide valuable insights.

The SEEA offers a comprehensive framework for accounting for the economic value of natural resources, including biodiversity. By incorporating biodiversity into economic accounting, policymakers can gain a better understanding of the costs and benefits associated with different conservation and management strategies. This information can then be used to inform the development of effective biodiversity policies.

The report highlights several successful examples of how the SEEA has been applied to inform biodiversity policy. These examples demonstrate the potential of the SEEA to provide a holistic and integrated approach to biodiversity conservation and management. They also showcase the importance of considering the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of biodiversity in policymaking.

In conclusion, this publication provides a valuable resource for policymakers seeking to develop and implement effective biodiversity policies. By leveraging the power of natural capital accounting, policymakers can gain a deeper understanding of the economic value of biodiversity and use this information to inform decision-making processes. The examples provided in the report serve as a source of inspiration for policymakers and demonstrate the potential of the SEEA to contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity for the benefit of present and future generations.
