Healthy Ecosystems. Resilient Communities.
We all rely on services provided by nature, often without realizing it or in ways we don’t fully recognize. Earth Economics identifies and quantifies those benefits to ensure they are included in the decision-making process at all levels, so communities can mitigate risk, increase resilience, and protect their natural capital wealth.
Our Mission
We quantify and value the benefits nature provides - our work drives effective decisions and systemic change through a combination of education, natural capital analysis, and policy recommendations.
Our Vision
We envision a future where communities, nature, and industry all thrive together.
