Never before has such an arsenal of tools existed for countries to begin to fully value nature’s contribution to green growth.
This #GGKPwebinar explores some of the latest methods for assessing natural capital in national policies aimed at achieving sustainable development in the post-COVID recovery. It features an OECD keynote address on green growth, natural capital and biodiversity in the post-COVID recovery and an expert discussion on state-of-the-art approaches, including the launch of recent work by the GGKP Expert Group on Natural Capital.

Background
The Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP) is a global network of organisations and experts that identifies and addresses major knowledge gaps in green growth theory and practice. The GGKP has launched the Natural Capital Expert Group to work with leading green growth institutions, including the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), to promote natural capital implementation in national green growth planning.
In 2020, the GGKP Expert Group produced five papers addressing key knowledge gaps in natural capital metrics, data, and policy, building in part on its partnership with OECD to make natural capital a key focus of the 2019 Green Growth Policy Review of Indonesia. This year, the OECD has made natural capital the theme of the Green Growth and Sustainable Development (GGSD) Forum in November, “Securing natural capital: Resilience, risk management and Covid-19”.
