In the past decade, the growing realization that biodiversity and
human wellbeing are inextricably linked has led to the adoption of
numerous environmental policies. The concept of the Green Economy
has gained particular attention as an economic system where growth
is possible within environmental limits. The preservation of
ecosystem services and the halt of biodiversity loss are identified
as key pillars of the Green Economy. Despite the concept's momentum
there is still no clear understanding of how biodiversity fits
within a Green Economy. In the current debate, biodiversity is
rarely acknowledged in economic sectors other than agriculture,
forestry, fisheries and tourism, and when it is acknowledged
biodiversity and its conservation feature more as buzzwords than as
concrete and tangible components of the Green Economy. This book
aims to identify, understand and offer pragmatic recommendations of
how biodiversity conservation can become an agent of green economic
development. This book establishes ways to assess biodiversity's
contributions to the economy and to meaningfully integrate
biodiversity concerns in green-economy policies.
