Aims and Objectives of TEEB

The TEEB Study consists of a series of reports for distinct end-users

  • for ecologists and economists (TEEB D0)
  • for international and national policy makers (TEEB D1)
  • for local and regional policy (TEEB D2)
  • for business (TEEB D3)
  • for citizens (TEEB-D4)

The aims of the TEEB series are given below :

  • TEEB-D0 aims to synthesize and present the latest ecological and economic knowledge to structure the evaluation of ecosystem services under different scenarios, and to recommend appropriate valuation methodologies for different contexts. It also aims to examine the  global economic costs of biodiversity loss and the costs and benefits of actions to reduce these losses.

  • TEEB-D1 and TEEB –D2  aim to develop guidance  for policy makers at international, regional and local levels in order to foster sustainable development and better conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity. This guidance includes a detailed consideration of subsidies and incentives, environmental liability, national income accounting, cost-benefit analysis, and methods for implementing instruments such as Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES)

  • TEEB-D3 enables easy access to leading information and tools for improved biodiversity-related business practice  – from the perspective of managing risks, addressing opportunities, and measuring business impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity.
     
  • TEEB-D4 aims to raise public awareness of the contribution of ecosystem services and biodiversity towards human welfare, of an individual’s impact on biodiversity and ecosystems, as well as identifying areas where individual action can make a positive difference.
