  • The GNF carried out the first pilot study "Natural Capital Assessment for Trenchless Pipe Laying" together with proponents of the „trenchless“ technology. The goal of GNF and the project partners (TRACTO-TECHNIK GmbH & Co. KG; German Society for Trenchless Technology e. V. (GSTT)) was to show potential clients both within and outside Germany the ecological benefits of the technology.

    The brochure provides insights into the concrete implementation of a natural capital assessment and compares the environmental impacts of trenchless pipe laying to those of open construction.

  • The second pilot study describes the procedure for the natural capital assessment for tourism on the island of Juist. Together with the project partners (Municipal administration Juist; Wadden Sea National Park in Lower Saxony) GNF pursued two objectives: the assessment is intended to identify potential for an environmentally sound orientation of the island and to serve as a communication basis for the various stakeholders (tourists, residents, companies, suppliers, etc.).

    The study examines the effects of tourism on natural capital and analyses, which components of the value chain are of particular importance for the tourism in the island.
