Role and remit
Natural capital is the land, air, water, living organisms and geological materials, forms and processes that, globally, provide us with ecosystem goods and services imperative for survival and well being.
Our Natural Capital Specialist Panel provides CIWEM with an ability to pool expert knowledge and have a powerful and influential voice on natural capital issues, with a wide-ranging international audience. It provides a home to a diverse range of technical areas within the Institution (including themes such as biodiversity, landscape, soils, human interactions with the environment, ecosystem services, catchment based approach and sustainability), and how best to deliver integrated land and water management in practice. The Panel is focused on developing policy outputs (e.g. policy statements, best practice guidance, consultation responses, summaries of latest trends, policy, legislation and research, seminars and conferences) and will make sure this material is accessible to a broad audience.
If you would be interested in joining CIWEM’s Natural Capital Specialist Panel and contributing to our work on this highly important and current issue we would be delighted to hear from you. Participation will also contribute to your CPD. If you would like to apply to be a member of the Specialist Panel please email a copy of your latest CV to policy@ciwem.org to apply to the panel.
