Presented by Harry Davies (Office for National Statistics)
The UK economy’s reliance on goods and services provided by nature is well known but nature’s contribution to economic output is not fully understood. Nature’s contribution is not explicitly recorded within supply and use tables, which describe the flow of goods and services through the economy. Our experimental natural capital account supply and use tables increase that understanding by estimating the flow of goods and services, generated by nature, through the UK economy.
