Governments and NGOs

Users of the Catalogue might include national, state and regional-level government agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) with responsibility for managing natural capital assets, producing environmental-economic accounts or State of the Environment reporting, or managing trusted environmental data and information supply chains.

Benefits

Using consistent metrics from the Catalogue can support governments and NGOs to:

• measure and therefore be able to better manage natural capital assets that they have responsibility for managing
• make use of environmental data reported by other landowners and companies, as well as private environmental data service providers to supplement their own data
• drive increased consistency between environmental data and reporting across and within levels of government, as well as between government, NGOs and the private sector
• support the establishment of trusted environmental data and information supply chains based on the Shared Analytic Framework for the Environment (SAFE).
