Resource description:

The integration of ecosystem services and natural capital into the functioning of economic sectors provides a concrete means to initiate a shift towards green economy. This process starts with the integration of ecosystem services and natural capital into the policies governing the different sectors, with a view to develop concrete transition plans for greening of the sectors. The guidance is aimed at policy and decision-makers at different levels of governance - ranging from national to regional and local - interested at furthering the integration of biodiversity into sectoral policies while simultaneously identifying concrete opportunities for a shift towards green economy.
