Descripción del proyecto
Garantizar que las empresas europeas valoren la naturaleza
Nuestros limitados ecosistemas naturales son muy valiosos y deben valorarse en el marco de la economía ecológica. El programa europeo Valuing Nature (EU-VNP) y la red de redes europea Valuing Nature (EU-VNN) trabajan para desentrañar nuestra comprensión de las complejidades del entorno natural en los análisis de valoración, y determinar el valor de la naturaleza también en términos económicos. En este contexto, el objetivo del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos EU-VNP-Net es establecer, apoyar e impulsar las prioridades de EU-VNN y EU-VNP. Creará sinergias y colaboraciones entre redes existentes y emergentes, y acelerará la integración y la puesta en marcha del capital natural por parte de las empresas de toda la Unión Europea, así como la contabilidad del capital natural, las soluciones basadas en la naturaleza y la infraestructura verde para conseguir un cambio en la toma de decisiones a favor de la economía verde y sostenible.
Objetivo
The overall objective of EU-VNP-Net is to establish, support and energise an EU Valuing Nature Network of Networks (EU-VNN) and to implement a prioritised EU Valuing Nature Programme (EU-VNP) that, together, build synergies and collaborations among relevant existing and emerging networks (global, EU, national, sector, thematic, research and innovation), accelerate mainstreaming and operationalization of natural capital (NC) by businesses across the EU – in particular through uptake of NC assessment, NC accounting (NCA), nature-based solutions (NBS) and green infrastructure (GI) – and thereby contribute to the green economy and sustainable development. The EU-VNP will: (1) bring together, taking stock of and showcase relevant work being undertaken in the EU; (2) shape business perception in the EU of the value of nature as a business opportunity and as a means of reducing business risk and fostering sustainable business; (3) facilitate corporate uptake in the EU of the Natural Capital Protocol, which enables businesses to integrate NC in to business decision-making frameworks and models; (4) stimulate uptake in the EU of NCA so that businesses and their stakeholders are better aware of the value of nature in relation to business, and strengthen coherence between private and public sector work on NCA; (5) stimulate uptake in the EU of NBS, GI and related ecosystem-based solutions that enable businesses to reduce impacts and dependencies on NC and deliver benefits for both nature and business; (6) ensure that approaches adopted are optimal and scientifically rigorous; (7) explore options for a longer-term EU-VNN and/or EU-VNP beyond end of project. EU-VNP-Net will deliver impact through: (1) mainstreaming NC assessment, NCA, NBS and GI in business decision-making frameworks and models; (2) business decision-makers acknowledging the micro-and macro-economic relevance and value of NC approaches; (3) attracting private and public funding for further adoption.
