The Natural Capital Checker (NatCap Checker) provides practitioners with a self-assessment tool that enables them to assess, communicate, and improve the level of confidence in their natural capital assessments.
The Checker helps organisations to evaluate how credible and fit for purpose their assessments are and, therefore, the level of confidence that stakeholders can place in the process, results, and ultimately the decisions taken based on a natural capital assessment. The NatCap Checker builds on assurance practice and the experience of those who have been applying natural capital approaches. It is aligned with the Natural Capital Protocol’s four Principles; Relevance, Rigor, Replicability, and Consistency.
It is comprised of two parts: The Robustness Tool and The Maturity Tool.
