Current and future natural capital and ES

We will release model code and data from task 4.2.This entails developing novel quantitative models of the demand for natural capital and ES in both urban and non-urban areas. ES demand will be modelled based on policy requirements and people’s socio-economic characteristics indicative of i) the amount of consumption (of provisioning services), ii) the need for risk prevention (of regulating services), and iii) individuals’ needs for well-being and preferences. The selection of ES to be modelled will be made in consultation with key stakeholders (T1.1) and aligned to the narrative scenarios (T5.1). Current and future ES demand will serve as input for establishing ES targets and benefit functions in the network design (T7.1).
