In relation to natural capital metrics, UKEOF aims to identify relevant environmental observation priorities and gaps. Maintaining a healthy stock of natural capital assets is a key government objective and meeting that objective requires an effective monitoring strategy.</p> <p>Although the Natural Capital Committee (NCC) suggests that for many assets we have good data about their quantity and distribution, little has been done to-date at a strategic level to optimise environmental observation for the purpose of natural capital assessment.</p> <p>To address this, the <strong>UKEOF Natural Capital Working Group</strong> (NCWG) is coordinating activities to bring the relevant organisations together in order to develop a monitoring strategy for natural capital. The UKEOF partners include most of the statutory delivery and operational players who together collect and hold much of the essential data.</p> <img alt="Diagram: Metrics for natural capital assets (text description at end of page)" class="align-center align-center" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="369aa83e-232d-4083-81ce-2b6ce0194de4" id src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Natural-Capital-Assets-figure-web_0.png" title width="761" height="567"> <p> </p> </div> </div> </section> </div> <div class="field__item"> <section class="separator-strip" class="paragraph paragraph--type--separator paragraph--view-mode--default"> <hr class="strip-greyline"> </section> </div> <div class="field__item"> <section class="text-strip" class="paragraph paragraph--type--wysiwyg paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="container-flexi-page"> <h2>Our role</h2> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-body-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The objectives of the Natural Capital Working Group are:</p> <ol> <li>Inform partners about the latest developments on quantifying Natural Capital at UK and international level</li> <li>Analyse the partners’ strategies to pinpoint which partners have most relevance and responsibility, and identify which are already leading.
