Canada Launches Taskforce to Measure Value of Nature, Mobilize Conservation Investment

The Government of Canada has launched an Expert Taskforce on Natural Capital Accounting and Nature Financing to better measure, value, and account for nature in decision-making.

The taskforce will provide independent advice to the government on how to mobilize private investment for nature-positive outcomes and advance the use of natural capital accounting.

The taskforce consists of 17 experts from various sectors, including Indigenous-led conservation, finance, economics, business, and public policy.

The taskforce's recommendations will inform effective government policies and financial mechanisms that strengthen Canada's nature economy and support long-term economic resilience.
