Natural Capital Accounts (2021) (CBS)

The aim of the Natural Capital Accounts of Statistics Netherlands (CBS) is to map the relationship between nature, economy and human activities in a clear way - literally. CBS is working with Wageningen University on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV) on the development of models, data and maps that provide a spatial and as complete as possible picture of the current state of natural capital in the Netherlands.

The following CBS maps have been made available for the Atlas of Natural Capital (https://www.atlasnatuurlijkkapitaal.nl). See the Natural Capital Atlas for the explanatory notes per map, or consult the technical explanatory notes (https://www.cbs.nl/en-nl/maatschappij/nature-en-milieu/natural-capital/technical-explanatory notes). For most ecosystem services, both physical and monetary (use) values have been mapped. The unit of the card is therefore stated in the card name, as well as the resolution and the reference year.
