The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) study is a
major international initiative drawing attention to local, national
and global economic benefits of biodiversity, to highlight the
growing costs of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, the
benefits of investing in natural capital, and to draw together
expertise from the fields of science, economics and policy to
enable practical actions. Drawing on a team of more than one
hundred authors and reviewers, this book demonstrates the value of
ecosystems and biodiversity to the economy, society and
individuals. It underlines the urgency of strategic policy making
and action at national and international levels, and presents a
rich evidence base of policies and instruments in use around the
world and a wide range of innovative solutions. It highlights the
need for new public policy to reflect the appreciation that public
goods and social benefits are often overlooked and that we need a
transition to decision making which integrates the many values of
nature across policy sectors. It explores the range of instruments
to reward those offering ecosystem service benefits, such as water
provision and climate regulation. It looks at fiscal and regulatory
instruments to reduce the incentives of those running down our
natural capital, and at reforming subsidies such that they respond
to current and future priorities. The authors also consider two
major areas of investment in natural capital - protected areas and
investment in restoration. Overall the book underlines the needs
and ways to transform our approach to natural capital, and
demonstrates how we can practically take into account the value of
ecosystems and biodiversity in policy decisions - at national and
international levels - to promote the protection of our environment
and contribute to a sustainable economy and to the wellbeing of
societies.
