The final synthesis (summary) report from the multi-year multi-disciplinary INCASE project - Irish Natural Capital Accounting for Sustainable Environments - has been published by the EPA on their site HERE.
Key recommendations include:
​
-
Developing and using natural capital accounting methodology such as the SEEA-EA is a national priority and requires investment in expertise and shared nature-data infrastructure in Ireland
-
A detailed, high-resolution, regularly updated ecosystem map is required, while ecosystem condition assessment needs further development
-
The relationship between extent and condition of natural capital assets and flows of services and benefits requires more nuanced understanding, and assessment of flows of services needs a standardised approach.
