Recommendation (the committee's words)
The UK should work with countries at COP15, COP26 and through the G7 to construct an internationally agreed way to integrate natural capital accounts into core national 124 Biodiversity in the UK: bloom or bust? accounts. This aligns with two of the Government’s COP26 presidency goals: finance and collaboration. The UK should also use its leverage within the IMF, to call for the incorporation of natural capital accounts in macroeconomic surveillance undertaken by IMF.
