Project: Coastal Natural Capital Valuation Tool
Client: UNDP
Sustain Value developed an easy to use coastal valuation tool that can be applied to whole islands, marine protected areas, sections of coastline and wetlands. It was developed through testing and applying it to six case study sites in Mauritius and Rodrigues. The tool combines valuation of ecosystem service values with market based values (included within the national GDP accounts) and non-market based societal values (excluded from GDP figures). The study also involved developing an online e-learning training qualification and providing two well attended in-person training workshops.
