Adjusting macroeconomic indicators to account for the depletion and degradation of natural capital has long been viewed as a way to show the linkages between nature and the economy and foster more sustainable paths of development. Here, we show how the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA) Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (EEA) can be used to develop environmentally adjusted macroeconomic indicators. More specifically, we show how an enlargement of the production boundary to include the consideration of ecosystems as institutional units allows the development of a net value added metric that reflects depreciation and degradation of the natural capital assets. This measurement could be useful for policymaking: the linkage of ecosystem services to economic activities allows us to account for loss, repair and substitution of natural capital, and thus helps us to formulate and monitor environmental policies.

调整宏观经济指标以解决生态系统退化问题:一个示例

长期以来,调整宏观经济指标以解决自然资本的枯竭和退化问题一直被视为显示自然与经济之间联系并培育更可持续的发展道路的一种方式。在这里,我们展示了如何使用环境经济核算系统(SEEA)实验性生态系统核算(EEA)来开发经环境调整的宏观经济指标。更具体地说,我们展示了扩大生产边界以包括将生态系统作为制度单位的考虑在内,从而如何发展出反映自然资本资产贬值和退化的净增值指标。这种衡量方法可能对决策有用:生态系统服务与经济活动的联系使我们能够对损失,
