Urban Ecosystem Accounting (Urban EA)

Urban Ecosystem Accounting (Urban EA)

What is the value of urban nature? NINA maps, assesses and values ecosystem services in Norwegian cities.

NINA assesses urban ecosystem services, both from green and blue infrastructure and spaces within cities, as well as services provided by the surrounding land-, coast- and seascapes. We also develop and test approaches from the UN SEEA Ecosystem Accounting applied to urban ecosystems. This page provides links to our research on ecosystem assessment and accounting of interest to municipalities, urban planners and developers.
