Training
Training is a key component of our projects
We work closely together with our clients to deliver results that fit their strategy and daily practice. To successfully implement research products and recommendations in the long run, a basic understanding of key underlying concepts and approaches is necessary. This is why training is a key component of our projects.
Focus on urgent issues
Our training programs for organizations and individuals treat the following topics:
- Economic valuation of ecosystem services and its use for sustainable development
- Impact and dependence of business on natural capital
- Sustainable financing of nature conservation, biodiversity and protected areas
- Measuring and monitoring the impact of sustainable investments and nature conservation

On complementary topics, we work with an international network of highly skilled experts. We align with ISO standards 14007 Environmental management and 14008 Monetary valuation of environmental impacts and related environmental aspects.
