This publication outlines the Natural Capital Protocol project, provides a high level summary of the stock taking results and a proposed straw man/draft outline for the Protocol for consultation.
The report was compiled based on desktop research and feedback from leaders of natural capital initiatives and developers of the front-runner methodologies and tools. A consultation process was used to incorporate input from a wider group of interested stakeholders from business, policy, NGOs, academia and consultancy to inform the content. The consultation was designed to inform, get feedback and build consensus on the baseline stock take, gaps, next steps required and a draft specification for the Protocol.
