随着人们越来越认识到自然环境在维持经济和社会福祉方面的核心作用，“自然资本”的概念在国际上越来越受到关注。因此，令人鼓舞的是，看到“自然资本方法”决策的初步迹象被政府政策流程和私营部门所接受。然而，对这种“方法”有多种不同的理解，其中许多误用或忽略了其自然科学和经济学基础的关键特征。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一个将生态和经济视角联系起来的自然资本分析和决策框架。自然资本概念正在进入政府政策流程和私营部门，但对该方法的不同理解可能会导致误用或遗漏。为了解决这个问题，提出了自然资本分析和决策的综合框架。
The concept of 'natural capital' is gaining traction internationally as recognition grows of the central role of the natural environment in sustaining economic and social well-being. It is therefore encouraging to see the first signs of a 'natural capital approach' to decision making being accepted within government policy processes and the private sector. However, there are multiple different understandings of this 'approach', many of which misuse or omit key features of its foundations in natural science and economics. To address this, we present a framework for natural capital analysis and decision making that links ecological and economic perspectives.The natural capital concept is making way into government policy processes and the private sector, but different understandings of the approach might lead to misuse or omissions. In order to address this issue, a comprehensive framework for natural capital analysis and decision making is presented.
