Co$tingNature – creating an accessible platform for a natural capital and ecosystem services valuation tool

Rice terraces

Developed by a team from King’s College London, Co$tingNature is a spatial policy support tool for mapping nature's contributions to people, the risks of nature loss to people and the risks of human development activity to nature. REDAA is supporting refinement of the tool to make it more widely accessible to non-specialist users including policy makers.

The Royal Academy of Engineering wants to change this, supported by REDAA.
