The Artificial Intelligence for Environment & Sustainability team, in collaboration with the UN has developed a web-based application in support of the implementation of the System of Environmental Economic Accounting - Ecosystem Accounting that was adopted in 2021 as a statistical standard.
The report uses innovative economic modelling techniques to estimate how changes in select ecosystem services impact the economy, helping decision-makers understand the cost of inaction.
The Global Program on Sustainability (GPS) promotes the use of high-quality data and analysis on natural capital, ecosystem services, and sustainability to better inform decisions made by governments, the private sector, and financial institutions.
