Our senior research analyst, Carson Risner, will be attending the 2024 Oregon Outdoor Recreation Summit this week, December 5-7th. The event is organized and hosted by the Oregon Trails Coalition, whose mission is to support, promote, and advocate for the preservation, development, and stewardship of a statewide network of sustainable trails.
The generous support of the Kresge Foundation has enabled Earth Economics to provide federal agencies, municipalities, utilities, community-based organizations, and other non-profit groups with applied ecological economic analysis, tools, support, and policy advocacy since 2013.
Earth Economics is the newest member of the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. CESUs provide research, technical assistance, and education to federal land management, environmental, and research agencies and their partners. Members from biological, physical, social, cultural, and engineering disciplines provide the expertise needed to address natural and cultural resource management issues at multiple landscape scales.
BETTER DECISIONS, NATURALLY.
We all rely on services provided by nature, often in ways we don’t fully recognize. Earth Economics identifies and quantifies those benefits to ensure they are included in the decision-making process at all levels, so communities can mitigate risk, increase resilience, and protect their natural capital wealth.
Our Mission
We quantify and value the benefits nature provides to people, communities, and organizations, fostering effective decisions that prioritize the wellbeing of people and nature.
Our Vision
We envision a future where the wellbeing of people and the natural world are central to all economic decision making.
