The VNN town Meeting took place at RIBA London on Friday  24th June 2011. Presentations were given by Peter Costigan (the Defra view on VNN), Andrew Impey (the NERC perspective on VNN), Georgina Mace (on the link between VNN and the NERC/DfiD ESPA programme) and David Raffaelli (on the link between VNN and the NERC BESS programme). VNN PI Ian Bateman also presented findings from the preceding VNN Scoping and Interdisciplinary Workshops and the consequent Draft Research Agenda.

 This workshop is designed to explore the range of approaches, assumptions and research priorities in the ESPA programme concerning the valuation of ecosystem services.  The outputs will inform the design of subsequent activities in ESPA, but also feed into the NERC Valuing Nature Network scoping phase.

 This workshop is designed to explore the range of approaches, assumptions and research priorities concerning the valuation of biodiversity, ecosystem services and natural resource use. The one day meeting with a focus on gathering input from researchers across the field of economics (including agricultural, ecological, environmental, and resource economics) with a special interest in socio-ecological processes and human well-being.
