Accounting for nature's value could transform Scotland's economy
This study explores how to include natural resources, like forests and clean air, in a computer model that predicts how changes affect the economy and environment in Scotland. The researchers want to see how factors like carbon emissions and agricultural services impact the economy and nature. By adding these elements to their model, they hope to better understand the effects of policies on both the economy and the environment. In the future, this approach could help track how policies influence the environment's health and overall economic well-being.
