NEW: Latest TEEB Report now out

The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) is a global study, initiated by the G8 and five major developing economies and focusing on ‘the global economic benefit of biological diversity, the costs of the loss of biodiversity and the failure to take protective measures versus the costs of effective conservation’. TEEB makes the case for integrating the economics of biodiversity and ecosystem services in decision-making.
