| Short description: |
Defra’s recent Five Year Strategy identified natural resource protection as one of its five strategic priorities. A systematic approach to developing an evidence base for the natural environment - including valuation evidence - is one of the research programmes that underlie the implementation of the strategy. This study aims to present an outline of such evidence and the choice of methods that can be used to collate this evidence. In particular, the objectives of the study are to: collate existing valuation research; evaluate different valuation methods; identify how they compliment and conflict with each other; to examine how they can be and are used in decision making; and to review different measures of prosperity. In addition to the work undertaken by the study team, the report also contains the findings of expert and policy maker consultations.
