Explore the Catalogue
The Catalogue supports both natural capital accounting and natural capital assessment and can be applied to any type of natural capital, by any type of organisation.
Natural Capital Accounting
Typical users are organisations that directly or indirectly (e.g. supply chain or customers) own or manage natural assets (e.g. land managers, conservation groups, mining sector, agricultural sector, corporations, finance and investment, government etc.). Users can identify consistent metrics, methods and data sources that measure the state of natural assets, and the flows of benefits derived from those assets.
-
Environmental Assets
Metrics for individual components of the biophysical environment, such as mineral resources, land, timber and water. The Environmental assets section is aligned with the United Nations (UN) SEEA Central Framework (SEEA-CF).

Ecosystem Assets
Metrics for ecosystems (complexes of living and non-living, or biotic and abiotic, environmental assets that interact as a functional unit). The Ecosystem assets section is aligned with the SEEA Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA-EA).
