Roelof Boumans's Company Details

Accounting for Desirable Futures LLC (AFORDable Futures) is an environmental consulting business promoting sustainable economic practices and comprehensive analytical tools for valuation of ecosystem services. We work with clients to develop valuation studies and stakeholder dialogues for the management of natural capital and ecosystem services. Depending upon the needs of our clients, we use a 'tiered' set of tools ranging from rapid valuation spreadsheets to spatial dynamic computer models. These models simulate changes within ecological processes and human activities across time and space - permitting stakeholders to engage in more detailed and productive decision-making on the trade-offs. \\We not only provide professional ecosystem analyses but also training for improved decision-making affecting local economies and environments. By working within the frameworks of ecological economics, our work builds upon classical economic approaches to present a more complete picture of the value of goods and services within an environmental boundary.
