Urban Ecosystem Accounting

Many cities are now pioneering and promoting the "greening" of urban spaces and using nature-based solutions (NbS) to urban challenges, for example, to mitigate the effects of urban heating, improve air quality and create pleasant environments for people to enjoy. NbS like creating green areas a...

short_description	These two handbooks are supporting workshop sessions have been created to build capacity in using urban ecosystem accounting to better integrate nature into cities. The first handbook, “Urban ecosystem accounting: Concepts and implementation”, explained why we need more nature in cities, described what urban ecosystem accounting is and how it should be implemented. The second handbook, “Urban ecosystem accounting: Applications”, provides state of the art applications of urban ecosystem accounting and includes methods, resources, and real-world examples. These two handbooks can both be accessed via the drop down menu to the right.
