Benefits of urban natural capital
27 Apr | The Natural Capital Singapore team will discuss findings on terrestrial and marine ecosystems in a tropical city at this webinar, alongside studies done beyond Singapore's shores.
The Natural Capital Singapore project at the Singapore-ETH Centre will share results from our 3.5-year research on the importance of urban nature on human wellbeing and how this information can better inform decision-making.
The research, based in Singapore, is the first study of its kind for a tropical city – a multidisciplinary study of Singapore’s terrestrial and marine ecosystems and the benefits that they provide. These findings will be discussed alongside studies done on natural capital around the world.
