Summary

This article provides the monetary estimates of the UK natural capital. Natural capital includes all natural resources including ecosystem assets and the services that they provide. Valuation of natural capital is important because it provides a common metric through which it can be compared with other forms of capital. Integrated and comprehensive natural capital accounts can in principle provide the basis for key indicators of economic performance and sustainability.
