The document reports that natural capital in Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Trinidad and Tobago is poorly managed, with per capita market natural capital stocks stagnating or declining after 2008. It highlights a dangerous concentration of market natural capital in agricultural land for Ethiopia, and in oil, gas, and minerals for Indonesia and Trinidad and Tobago, while noting that non-market natural capital is threatened by climate change and population growth.

• Natural capital management in Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Trinidad and Tobago has been inadequate, with per capita market natural capital stocks showing stagnation or decline following the 2008 global financial crisis.
