Stanford – Natural Capital Symposium

The Natural Capital Symposium has grown from one year to the next, with last year’s installment drawing over 400 people from 31 countries worldwide. Each year participants representing universities, NGOs, businesses, governments, multi-lateral development banks, and other institutions learn about and share their own experiences advancing the frontiers of science, the development and application of practical tools and approaches, and how natural capital understanding is being used today to transform decisions. This year, they will be focusing on two key themes: 1) re-envisioning development planning at national and regional scales and 2) sustainable, livable cities. To do so, they will explore technology, natural science, social science, planetary health, data visualization, the arts, and more.
