Environmental goods and ecosystem services provide valuable benefits to society, but many of these benefits are unpriced and often overlooked in decision-making. Our research focuses on applying nonmarket valuation methods to environmental goods and ecosystem services to better integrate their economic value into policy and appraisal processes.
