The Thriving Natural Capital Challenge Centre at SRUC enables ecosystem market creation. We show how Scotland's natural capital is essential to addressing UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our work focuses on advancing the fundamental interdisciplinary science of ecosystem services, and informing decision makers on the restoration of natural capital and its sustainable use.
We build ecosystem markets through action research projects to meet net-zero targets and reverse biodiversity decline. We do this while supporting thriving rural communities through regenerative agriculture and conservation, ensuring a just transition.
