Our impact areas:
Through professional training, industry research, and resource development, we’re helping teams and practitioners gain necessary skills to adopt natural asset management in their organization.
Natural asset management is still an emerging practice—to support mainstream adoption, NAI maintains a growing body of knowledge and guides, and mobilizes learnings from innovative pilot projects and research.
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
NAM relies on collaboration and coordination across multiple disciplines, including:
- Finance & Accounting
- Engineering & Geoscience
- Public Works
- Land Use Planning
- Ecology & Biology
- Forestry
- …and more
NAI works with professional associations and industry experts to develop professional guidelines and/or directives, identify best practices, and support emerging training. Our goal is for every profession relevant to natural asset management to have the tools and capacities to fully engage in the practice.
RELATED RESEARCH
NAI undertakes research to identify barriers to NAM and opportunities for its adoption at multiple regulatory levels.
