Nature Valuation and Financing Network
The aim of the Network (NV&F) is to stimulate the development and exchange of practical tools and best practice for the valuation of ecosystem goods and services, so that decisions concerning economic development are made with full awareness and understanding of all the costs and benefits involved.
The site offers features such as: a publication database which provides the opportunity to both download and upload relevant information, a case study database for identifying related case studies in the field, discussion platforms where members can communicate within an online forum and national platforms, specifically tailored to a certain country.
