Natural Capital Singapore

Valuing ecosystem services in a tropical city: we are an NRF funded project to assess the Natural Capital of Singapore involving ETH Zurich, NUS, NTU & NParks.

As we begin wrapping up our 3.5 year @NatCapSG project, thank you to everyone who worked so hard on the Coastal and Marine Team! Will miss our weekly meetings!

FUN bunch of coastal geniuses! From Mangrove to Seagrasses and Corals, I’ve learnt so much. Thank you for such an amazing time! Wish for more!

Today we wrap up the 3.5 year @NatCapSG project. More than 60 staff and students, and countless academic and government collaborators worked on quantifying the benefits of Singapore's environment. Thanks to @CREATE_NRF for funding, and A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone involved!

Although the @NatCapSG wraps up its admin and finances today 🎉 the amazing research by the team continues! Please keep watching this space and the team for outputs and upcoming publications from the team. We look forward to reaching out to stakeholders soon.

Happy to be part of #ESP21EU's T9 session, where we presented findings on the links between nature and human health. Sorry for the unglam shots, it was never meant to be a collage, & I only realised I could do so as I had all of you in a screenshot during your presentations.

Congratulations to @Yan_yanyun Well-deserved award from @ESPartnership for your research, as well as being a top person to work with 🎉 You can also see a video of her work on our website https://t.co/H1D7uDtY8y

It's my pleasure to join #ESP21EU and won the 3rd prize in the poster presentation. Thank you very much @ESPartnership and all our teams' support @NatCapSG #CarrascoBioeconLab

Great to see solutions to addressing the nature-human relationship that can sit alongside traditional ecosystem services approaches and accounting

Prof Erik Gomez-Baggethun on the problems with commodifying nature: comparisons drawn from the commodification of the female body and people - a strong implied message that morals and specifically empathy is needed to avoid turning nature into a prostitute or slave #esp21eu

A preference for poster presentation by @NatCapSG’s @Yan_yanyun #esp21eu

[Laurence Jones @LaurenceJonesES]

A preference study on urban greenspace in Singapore can be used to plan new park locations. Different locations emerge depending on preferences for heat mitigation, air pollution removal, etc. Nice work by Yanyun Yan #esp21eu

It’s not too late to head across to our virtual stand @ESPartnership #esp21eu in the Exhibition ’room’

2) Increase access to data and indicators on nature
3) Heighten consideration of the values that nature provides to people, and the causes of destruction
4) Develop integrated policies across nature, climate and development agendas

[Natural Capital Singapore @NatCapSG]

The four recommendations from @UNDPbiofin to support the post-2020 global biodiversity framework are relevant to an urban environment in Singapore and are aims which @NatCapSG hopes to contribute to:
1) Adequate finance for National Biodiversity Plans

Can #urbanisation and food production co-exist in a #sustainable way? How can a deeper understanding of the relationship between future #cities and future #agriculture help? Join us at the FCL Global Research Overture today!

22 Jun: @lromancarrasco of @NatCapSG will be speaking with Prof Michael Batty (UCL) and Josef Hargrave (ARUP) on planning for resilient and adaptable cities, to achieve liveability, resource circularity and a healthy environment https://t.co/3QZng1Q9Bt

These virtual tours of Singapore's natural environment by NParks are a wonderful storytelling, combining biology, history and joy.

This advice couldn't be better timing as we prepare our final project communication on the natural capital of Singapore. Avoid neat narratives and unsupported statements, stick to recommendations on the science not persuasions.

More than just dressing for the weather; designing nature based solutions for the weather. Another quote on mangrove loss by @danfriess https://t.co/gbxdgZ6EU0
