About the Platform
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
This Platform aims to bring together all individuals and organisations active in the field of developing tools and guidelines for Nature Valuation and Financing as well as applications for sustainable development in India as well as potential application of Indian experiences in other developing economies.
The website will provide a portal function to organisations, related links and relevant literature. The site is interactive, meaning it is possible for visitors to both download and upload information (e.g.important documents), reply to discussions on the discussion forum and provide input relevant to the Indian National Platform.
