Natural capital The Global Sustainable Competitiveness Index 14
Elements of sustainable competitiveness Natural Capital Elements of the national natural capital The “Natural Capital” of a country is the capital that is given to a country in the form of land and its geography, climate, biodiversity, fertility, water availability, and the availability of mineral and fossil resources. The number of data points available from a variety of sources is nearly endless. The main challenge is therefore to select the most relevant and meaningful indicators amongst the wealth of available data. In order to define meaningful and relevant, the core issues affecting the sustainable use of natural capital have been defined in a natural capital model. The natural capital model incorporates the essence of resources available that in effect would allow a country to be completely self-sustaining: land, water, food production, capacity, and energy and mineral resources. In addition, the level of depletion, or degradation of those resources that could endanger future self-efficiency have also been taken into account. Natural Capital & Natural Capital Depletion Agriculture Biodiversity Water Resources Pollution Available land Forests Renewable freshwater Energy resources Pollution of water Yield efficiency Flora & Fauna Not renewable freshwater Mineral resources Pollution of biodiversity Degradation, desertification Biodiversity pressure Agriculture Resource depletion Air pollution Natural capital indicators Based on the definition of the key natural capital sustainability areas, data series are chosen as indicators that reflect the sustainable competitiveness of a country based on its natural resources (natural capital). The indicators have been analyzed for the latest data point available as well as their development over time, reflecting the current status and the future outlook of a country based on the natural capital and the level of its depletion due to human activities. As some of the above key areas are difficult to express in numerical values, quantitative scores compiled by GEF (Global Environment Facility, a sub-division of the UNEP) have been used for certain indicators, such as biodiversity potential, resource depletion, and the ecological footprint. For the full list of indicators, refer to the methodology section. Table of contents The Sustainable Competitiveness Index 2013 Page 15
