Better Decisions, Naturally
Nature provides our essentials: air, water, food, and countless other resources.
Annually, these ecosystems generate $125 trillion in global value.
There are no substitutes for most of these critical services, at any price.
We quantify and value the benefits nature provides everyone, fostering effective decisions that prioritize the wellbeing of people and nature.
As organizations navigate complex land use decisions—from policy and conservation to infrastructure and public/private investment—Earth Economics provides guidance grounded in data and science. We work with partners and clients to evaluate the costs and benefits of nature-based approaches that improve community health and build resilience.
Conservation
Preserving land and water delivers immediate economic returns while helping secure future wealth. We team with community partners to evaluate the benefits of conserving natural assets for community prosperity that promotes investment in, and protection of, the community's natural assets.
Resource Management
From tribal organizations, planning boards, and recreation departments to water districts and economic development groups, we equip decision-makers with hard data on nature-based solutions, revealing hidden economic opportunities while mapping risks and trade-offs.
Resilience
Nature-based solutions are cost-effective and help protect your community before disasters strike. We help transform climate challenges into strategic economic advantages. We pinpoint the highest-value adaptation strategies, helping you evaluate and choose the best options.
