INCONCLUSION
• Mexico’s NCAVES experience demonstrates that the biophysical and economic components of ecosystems, and the services they provide, can be compiled into an ecosystem accounting framework.
• NCA matters. Ecosystem accounts are essential in decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation.
• Evidence on the positive economic impacts of key decisions of sound environmental policies should guide Green Recovery efforts. 5
