Upcoming events.
Accounting for Nature hosts and participates in a range of events designed to support understanding and adoption of environmental accounting across sectors.
Our program also includes training delivered by Accredited Training Providers (ATPs), introductory and advanced learning sessions on the Accounting for Nature® Framework, and practitioner-focused workshops that build capability in environmental measurement, reporting and account-based approaches to nature outcomes.
Accounting for Nature also participates in industry conferences, partner events, and sector forums where we share updates on framework development, environmental accounting standards, and real-world applications across landscapes, projects and investment contexts.
These events bring together landholders, practitioners, investors, policymakers and organisations interested in credible, science-based approaches to measuring and improving environmental condition.
Attribution Protocol Consultation Webinar - Session 1
Attribution Protocol Consultation Webinars.
Join the conversation. Help shape the future of environmental attribution.
Accounting for Nature (AfN) invites you to participate in a consultation webinar on the draft Attribution Protocol, released for public consultation following its announcement at COP17 in Armenia.
Developed in collaboration with the University of Oxford, with contributions from The Biodiversity Consultancy and informed by a series of dedicated stakeholder workshops, the draft aims to establish a scientifically robust and practical approach to environmental attribution.
As demand for credible nature-related information and biodiversity units grows, understanding how environmental outcomes can be attributed to actions is increasingly important. The proposed Protocol seeks to clarify what can reasonably be attributed, the evidence needed to support attribution claims, and how uncertainty, other contributing factors and limitations should be acknowledged.
About the webinar
The webinar will introduce the proposed Attribution Protocol, explain its intended application within the Accounting for Nature® Framework, and outline how it may support the integrity of environmental reporting and the ongoing development of nature unit issuance, such as the NaturePlus® Standard Version 2 under AfN administration.
The session will cover:
Why attribution matters: The role of credible attribution in environmental accounting and emerging nature markets.
The proposed approach: An overview of the draft Protocol, its scope and key principles.
Evidence and scientific integrity: How evidence, uncertainty and other contributing factors are considered.
Practical application: Potential implications for Environmental Account Holders, environmental practitioners, auditors and users of nature-related information.
Have your say: Engage in feedback and how to provide detailed submissions to help inform the final Protocol.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions and share initial perspectives. Participants are encouraged to review the Consultation Paper and draft Protocol before attending.
Who should attend?
The webinars are open to anyone interested in environmental attribution and the credibility of nature-related claims, including:
Scientists and technical experts.
Environmental Account Holders, Accredited Experts and Auditors.
Biodiversity and environmental market participants.
Businesses, investors and corporate sustainability teams.
Government and policy representatives.

Webinar - Bringing Knowledge Systems Together: Environmental Accounting on Angkamuthi Country
Bringing Knowledge Systems Together: Environmental Accounting on Angkamuthi Country
This webinar will share learnings from the ISEAL Innovations Fund project, Nature data that can meet the needs of Indigenous Peoples and regulators and fit within Voluntary Sustainability Standards, led by Accounting for Nature in partnership with Angkamuthi Tribal Aboriginal Corporation, Ecotec Environmental and the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative.
Representatives from Angkamuthi Tribal Aboriginal Corporation and project partners will share experiences from developing an Environmental Account for Angkamuthi Country in northern Cape York, Australia. The project is exploring how environmental accounting can support the assessment of fauna condition at landscape scale in a region facing pressures from tourism, overfishing, mining and exploration.
Working within the Accounting for Nature® Framework, the project is piloting approaches to support Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), protect Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP), and appropriately recognise Traditional Owner ecological knowledge alongside scientific data. It is also exploring how environmental information can be developed in ways that respect Traditional Owners’ rights, knowledge and priorities.
The webinar will examine the practical realities of this work, including the time, logistics, overlapping land tenures and authorisations involved in establishing an Environmental Account. Speakers will discuss the challenges, lessons and opportunities emerging from the project, and what these mean for voluntary sustainability standards (VSS), project teams and funders seeking to support respectful partnerships, culturally appropriate processes and credible environmental information on Indigenous-managed Country.
Presenters: Representatives from Angkamuthi Tribal Aboriginal Corporation, Accounting for Nature, the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative and Ecotec Environmental.
Funding acknowledgement: This project was made possible thanks to a grant from the ISEAL Innovations Fund awarded to Accounting for Nature in partnership with the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative, which is supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO and UK International Development from the UK government.
