ECOLOGICAL-ECONOMIC ACCOUNTS Towards Intemerate Values

As part of the local and regional economy, adopting this framework will attract new investments in restoration services and financial instruments measured against the value of Equalization, leading to the expansion of new ecological markets and SMEs.

h) Our Ecological Assets

Looking again at the variables of the accounting equation for the Pacific, we see the following: 1) Monetary Factor: M$=R+V 2) Regional Accounts: R = (w)ZP 3) Ecological Assets: V = K x Q 4) Equalization: Q = 5) Impact Factors: K = C x N 6) Carbon Offsets: C = 7) Intemerate Offsets: N = Using the examples given, this is what our Monetary Factor would look like when we include our Ecological Assets.

NOTE: There is only one instance of N in this example, and that in the intemerate accounting paradigm; there will be hundreds more, reflecting the restoration of our ecological biodiversity, which is why we require the data baseline and the technological capacity to build up our data networks.
