- 8-Week Virtual Technical Training: Sri Lanka Training on Natural Capital Assessments and Accounting — Originally offered as an eight-week virtual course for Sri Lankan government officials, this training provides a structured introduction to natural capital assessments, ecosystem service modeling with InVEST, and natural capital accounting, with direct application to Sri Lanka's development priorities.
