Wonderful move by countries to adopt a new statistical framework that takes into account, not just GDP, but also the contributions of nature, when measuring economic prosperity and human well-being.

Mapping Liberia's Ecosystems:
The project is a joint effort between @NASA, @ConservationOrg & the Liberian Government.
It will enable the government to factor the health of the country's ecosystems & their value to people into its economic planning.

Welcome development as countries move closer to transitioning to a new statistical framework for measuring economic prosperity and human well-being. The framework goes beyond GDP and ensures that #NaturalCapital is factored in economic reporting.

Great insights from Liberia & Rwanda on maximizing on nature to strengthen Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) or planned actions in tackling the climate emergency under the Paris Agreement. This was during a recent webinar we co-hosted with
@GDSAofficial1 for its members.
The GDSA Secretariat would like to draw attention to the publication of the first of its kind Land and Terrestrial Ecosystem Accounts by our member country South Africa capturing three decades of land cover and land use changes.
Very valuable! @SANBI_ZA
