Natural Capital

Slide Content

The slide is about 'Natural Capital,' divided into four categories: Ecosystem capital, Abiotic assets, and Abiotic flows, each with a sub-category.

• Ecosystem capital is broken down into "Ecosystems as asset," which refers to the physical extent and quality of natural environments, and "Ecosystem service flows," indicating the various services ecosystems provide.
• Abiotic assets cover "Solar radiation," a non-depletable resource.
• Finally, Abiotic flows includes two elements: "Renewable energy" like solar, wind, and hydro (non-depletable), and "Phosphate fertiliser, radiation protection, etc.," which are useful yet depletable resources.

Graphical Look

• The slide title "Natural Capital" is in large white text on a dark blue background.
• There are four main content blocks, each with a different color: dark blue, green, orange, and dark yellow.
• Each block has a title at the top, two are 'GENERATING' and two are 'DEPLETABLE' in white capital letters on blue or orange tabs.
• The dark blue and green blocks represent 'Ecosystem capital' and have icons of a leaf and a tree, respectively.
• The orange and dark yellow blocks represent 'Abiotic assets' and 'Abiotic flows,' with icons of a sun and a power symbol joined with natural elements.
• At the bottom left, there is a text citation "Source: European Environment Agency" in white.

The slide has a balanced, colorful layout with distinct sections for each element. The use of icons and colored blocks makes it visually appealing and easy to differentiate between topics.
