Environmental Economic Assessment for Territorial Planning Jesús Pataquiva

The integration of territorial planning and environmental economics for the management of natural ecosystems provides the potential for the economic valuation of environmental goods and services in territorial planning instruments, decision-making on their use and conservation, favouring the production of indicators with which to determine the environmental viability of policies, plans, programmes and projects. Likewise, the information constructed through Environmental Economic Valuation studies facilitates the generation of a value matrix on natural capital.
