References – Ecosystems centred scale

Wednesday 29 April 2020

Ecosystems-centred accounts developed and tested within the Chair in Ecological Accounting are inter-organisational management tools at the service of ecological systems, in the broadest sense (rivers, wetlands, watersheds, animal populations). This level of accounting provides a link between organisational and national accounts and offers methods and means of organisation and action to stakeholders in the same area, in order to collectively ensure the preservation of a given ecosystem.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of references on the research themes of ecosystem-centred accounting:
