The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity group has published a new interactive report which investigates the risks to natural capital across across business sectors. The most recent publication focuses on cotton irrigation water as an example of dealing with natural capital risk through the internalisation of environmental externalities.
The interactive TEEBforbusiness report was produced as part of a developing coalition which includes ICAEW (the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales), HRH The Prince of Wales’s Accounting for Sustainability project, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), WWF-UK (World Wildlife Fund UK), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and a number of other organisations.
