INCASE research project:

The Irish Natural Capital for Sustainable Environments (INCASE) project is applying Natural Capital Accounting principles at river catchment scale in Ireland.

Natural capital accounts will be developed based on the UN System of Environmental-Economic Accounts (SEEA) for four catchments to map natural capital stocks and flows of services.

 

The project will highlight challenges, knowledge and data gaps, and recommend a framework to operationalise Natural Capital Accounting in Ireland.

INCASE is an EPA-funded research project. It kicked off in March 2019 and will run until 2023.
