Seminar Recording | Presentation

The depletion of natural capital – including assets like forests, water, fish stocks, minerals, biodiversity
and land – poses a significant challenge to achieving poverty reduction and sustainable development
objectives. Understanding the value of a country's environmental assets is the key to sustainable
development and economic growth.

GPS is working with countries, such as Zambia, to integrate these sustainability considerations into
policies and decision making by providing high quality data and analysis that accounts for environmental
risk and opportunity, and calculates the stocks and flows of natural resources and ecosystem services.

Under the Wealth Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystems (WAVES) program, Zambia completed three
natural capital accounts for forest water and land. These accounts have been further supported under
GPS, and a new Tourism account is now also underway.

This session will discuss Zambia's experiences developing natural capital accounts. Focusing primarily on
the country's water account, the discussion will highlight the development process, challenges faced,
necessary capacity building, and lessons learned.
