对自然贡献的经济评估指导了可持续资源管理的决策过程。作为计算自然对喜马拉雅高原贡献的开创性努力，这项研究使用了普惠财富方法和地理信息系统。统计分析估计了印度拉达克的自然资本(NC)，并讨论了确保自然资源可持续管理的政策。从1990年到2018年，拉达克的自然贡献的经济价值正在增加。这些对自然贡献的经济估值包括不同的属性，如森林、农业用地、畜牧业、渔业、矿物和化石燃料。自然对研究区经济的贡献主要来自化石燃料(91%)和矿物(6.9%)驱动。这一趋势对于该地区的长期可持续增长是不可持续的。研究结果提出了几项政策建议，以确保印度拉达克的可持续NC管理。
Economic valuation of nature’s contribution guides the decision-making process for sustainable resource management. As a pioneer effort to calculate nature’s contribution to the Himalayan plateau, this study uses an inclusive wealth method and geographic information system. The statistical analysis estimates the natural capital (NC) of Ladakh, India, and discusses the policy to ensure sustainable management of the natural resources. The economic value of nature’s contribution in Ladakh is increasing from the year 1990 to 2018. These economic valuations for nature’s contribution include different attributes, such as forest, agricultural land, animal husbandry, fishery, minerals and fossil fuels. Nature’s contribution to the economy of the study area is mainly from fossil fuels (91%) and minerals (6.9%) driven. This trend is not sustainable for long-term sustainable growth of the area. The results suggest several policies to ensure sustainable NC management in Ladakh, India.
