For Local and Regional Policy

The Earthscan book of TEEB for Local and Regional Policy Makers will be published in 2012. www.earthscan.co.uk

This report is planned to be a useful advisory tool for local and regional policymakers, administrators and managers. The information in this report will also be of interest to organisations such as NGOs, regulatory bodies, permitting agencies and the judicial system. It explores and gives practical guidance on how to deal with the challenge of biodiversity loss at a local and regional level. It examines what local governments can do with respect to natural resource use and management, maintaining and supporting biodiversity, local and regional urban and spatial design, as well as market-based approaches, such as Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES).

TEEB Manual for Cities: Ecosystem Services in Urban Management now available

ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability's Cities Biodiversity Center and the TEEB for Local and Regional Policy Makers team have partnered to create the TEEB Manual for Cities. This publication builds upon the TEEB reports, tailoring information specifically for cities, drawing on ICLEI and IUCN's Local Action for Biodiversity Pioneer Project.

The manual highlights how a focus on ecosystem services and their valuation can create direct benefits for cities. It also provides stepwise guidance on how to do this illustrated by in-depth case studies. The TEEB Manual for Cities was officially launched at the Liveable Cities Forum and EcoCity World Summit in Montreal 22-26 August 2011, an international conference aimed at exploring cutting edge research and showcasing practical solutions that contribute to the sustainable development and management of ecocities.
