Given the potential of peptide selenoesters for protein total synthesis and the paucity of methods for the synthesis of these sensitive peptide derivatives, we sought to explore the usefulness of the bis(2selenylethyl)amido (SeEA) group, i.e. the selenium analog of the bis(2-sulfanylethyl)amido (SEA) group, for accelerating peptide bond formation. A chemoselective exchange process operating in ...

This work was undertaken as part of the project Advancing the SEEA Experimental Ecosystem Accounting. This note is part of a series of technical notes, developed as an input to the SEEA Experimental Ecosystem Accounting Technical Guidance. The project is led by the United Nations Statistics Division in collaboration with United Nations Environment Programme through its The Economics of Ecosyste...

Ecosystem accounting has been advocated as a potential ‘game changer’ for managing the environment and economy was recently standardised by United Nations (UN) in System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA-EA). However, Indigenous Peoples, their lands, values, knowledge have not explicitly included SEEA-EA. With more than 40% global land under some form management or tenure, this omissio...

Economics and ecology are often presented as opposing disciplines. Both fields have strengths and weaknesses. A new transdisciplinary field, ecological economics, attempts to bring together the strengths of both disciplines with a vision for a sustainable future. In this paper, we focus on one particular concept championed by ecological economists, natural capital. In particular, our interest i...

Combining natural capital accounting tools and ecosystem restoration approaches builds on existing frameworks to track changes in stocks flows of services benefits as a result restoration. This approach highlights policy relevant that arise due efforts helps maximize opportunities for return investment. Aligning the System Environmental Economic Accounting – Ecosystem (SEEA EA) framework with r...
