Yet our national reporting takes little account
of the environmental impact we are having
around the world. The 25 year environment

Official Development Assistance spending

The UK Government should also ensure
that natural capital criteria are considered
by multilateral organisations that disburse
UK aid funding, such as the World Bank.
