Developed in cooperation with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development
(WBCSD) and the Meridian Institute, this intensive Ecosystem Services Review training for corporate consultants is sponsored by the World Resources Institute.
Since its launch this March, over forty corporations have implemented the ESR and scores of others are gearing-up to use
the methodology. As a result, demand for consultants with expertise in ecosystem services is on the rise.
This training will provide consultants with detailed information about this powerful new methodology.
