Short extract:

Today offers the oppor­tu­nity to see for the first time the draft Nat­ural Cap­i­tal Pro­to­col and Sec­tor Guides as they are launched for con­sul­ta­tion at the World Forum on Nat­ural Cap­i­tal. The draft Pro­to­col and Sec­tor Guides have been devel­oped by the Nat­ural Cap­i­tal Coali­tion as a stan­dard­ized frame­work for busi­ness to mea­sure and value its impacts and depen­den­cies on nat­ural cap­i­tal and to help them inte­grate this into their deci­sion making.

The Nat­ural Cap­i­tal Coali­tion is built upon the belief that through col­lab­o­ra­tion we will go further.

The con­sul­ta­tion is there­fore an essen­tial part of the devel­op­ment process.  As well as engag­ing with the grow­ing Coali­tion mem­ber­ship, which has dou­bled in the last six months and now stands at 168 organ­i­sa­tions, the Coali­tion is estab­lish­ing an expert review panel, to lead the con­sul­ta­tion, build con­sen­sus and gain mar­ket momen­tum. The con­sul­ta­tion com­pli­ments the exist­ing busi­ness pilot pro­gram that is already under­way and includes over 50 com­pa­nies rep­re­sent­ing all geo­gra­phies and many major sectors.

The con­sul­ta­tion will run until the 26 Feb­ru­ary 2016 and will be fol­lowed by sev­eral months of fur­ther devel­op­ment prior to the launch of Ver­sion 1 in July 2016.
