The overall aim of the Forum is to share, explore and synthesize the experiences of countries that have been producing and using natural capital accounting (NCA) with the objective of providing guidance for countries on how to improve the use of accounting for policy development and better decision making. Following every Forum, lessons and written contributions are compiled into a publication.
The 4th Forum on Natural Capital Accounting for Better Policy took place on 18-19 November 2019 in Kampala, Uganda.

This year's theme was Measuring and valuing natural capital for improved landscape management.
