On 12 May 2021, the Capitals Coalition is hosting a webinar on "Valuing Natural Capital & Local Communities for Business in Eastern & Southern Africa: Capitals Impacts and Dependencies of the Tourism Industry".
This webinar series aims to build awareness of the relevance and potential of a capitals approach for decision-making in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Eastern and Southern Africa. The series will build on the outcomes and insights delivered through the online African Forum on Green Economy – Investing in Natural Capital for a Resilient Africa, organised by the Capitals Coalition, IUCN and partners, in 2020.
Discussions will be focussed on the impacts and dependencies of the tourism industry on natural and social capital, how these can be measured more widely across the industry, and how this knowledge can be shared to encourage more collaborative management approaches to better value nature and the local communities they rely on.
