RECENT WORK
Earth Economics’ Executive Director Maya Kocian has been invited by the World Bank to speak at the UN workshop "Making the Economic and Financial Case for Restoration." She will share our experience creating and maintaining the EVToolkit, the world’s largest database of ecosystem service valuation estimates.
At the end of 2021, the Earth Economics Board of Directors created the Ingrid Rasch Legacy Fund in honor of our Board Chair of 13 years, Ingrid Rasch. Each year, the Ingrid Rasch Legacy Fund will enable Earth Economics to provide pro bono technical assistance to one non-profit or community-based organization to advance local solutions to environmental injustice, climate hazards, and the threats of displacement. We are thrilled to announce the 2022 recipient of this new award.
Healthy Ecosystems. Resilient Communities.
We all rely on services provided by nature, often without realizing it or in ways we don’t fully recognize. Earth Economics identifies and quantifies those benefits to ensure they are included in the decision-making process at all levels, so communities can mitigate risk, increase resilience, and protect their natural capital wealth.
Our Mission
We quantify and value the benefits nature provides - our work drives effective decisions and systemic change through a combination of education, natural capital analysis, and policy recommendations.
Our Vision
We envision a future where communities, nature, and industry all thrive together.
In September, Earth Economics was thrilled to launch the inaugural Ingrid Rasch Legacy Fund application. We received a number of compelling applications; among them, PeaceTrees Vietnam’s request for a working map resource to support their demining efforts in central Vietnam. With your support, we aim to raise sufficient funds by December 31st to support this vital technical assistance project.
