St Paul Campus with NatCap Teems Name

 

NatCap TEEMs (Natural Capital Project: The Earth-Economy Modelers) aims to improve our understanding of the integrated earth-economy system and to inform decision-making for sustainable development on a livable planet. 

Economic activity is the dominant force shaping earth systems in the 21st century. Over the past two centuries, the economic expansion has led to unprecedented advancements in standards of living and unintended consequencesfor the environment, including climate change and loss of biodiversity, which now threaten our long-term prosperity and the well-being of future generations. TEEMs uses advanced modeling and foundational expertise to align economic systems with stewardship of earth systems to ensure sustainable prosperity.

NatCap TEEMs integrates ecological, climate, and economic data in Earth-Economy models to inform decision-making for sustainable development.

NatCap TEEMs is a part of the Natural Capital Project, a global partnership whose mission is to pioneer science, technology, and partnerships that enable people and nature to thrive. We provide this partnership with economic data and models that pioneer the integration of economics with natural sciences to develop Earth-Economy models.
