At The Natural Capital Project we’re developing practical tools and approaches to account for nature’s contributions to society, so that leaders of countries, companies, communities, and organizations worldwide can make smarter decisions for a more sustainable future.
Centered at Stanford University, we operate as a partnership with University of Minnesota, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Stockholm Resilience Centre, The Nature Conservancy, and the World Wildlife Fund. We are a team of academics, software engineers, and real-world professionals with the optimism, commitment, and humility to work together. Our common quest is to shine a light on the intimate connections between people and nature, and to reveal, test, and scale ways of securing the well-being of both.
Most of these videos are also featured in our online course, NCP101: An Introduction to the Natural Capital Approach. Enrollment is free and open on a rolling basis at ncp101.class.stanford.edu
