Abstract

Natural Resource Accounting, a cycle of assessing the worth of environmental exhaustion and ecological depletion in view of economic engagements, is the need of the hour to secure sustainable economic growth by maintaining the broader theme of the triple bottom line (TBL) framework while ensuring three macro facets of people, planet, and profit. The deliberations at various levels, with coordinated effort in framing NRA guidelines in line with the best global practices in India, had substantially increased the awareness amongst stakeholders.
