Natural capital
The stock of renewable and non-renewable natural resources (plants, animals, air, water, soils, minerals) that yields a flow of goods and services to people. The Natural Capital Protocol (2016) provides a framework for organisations to identify, measure and value their impacts and dependencies on this capital.
