ecosystems and biodiversity, and encourages other Parties and Governments to also consider, as
appropriate, the preparation of such studies, making use of the findings of the international
study on The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) and of similar work at the
national or regional levels, involving all relevant stakeholders, and to identify mechanisms and
measures to integrate the values of biodiversity into relevant national and local policies, programmes
and planning processes, as well as reporting systems, in a manner adapted to national circumstances;

EC-funded TEEB National Implementation project:
Reflecting the Value of Ecosystems and Biodiversity in
Policymaking
• Objective:
“draw attention to the economic benefits of biodiversity, highlighting the growing
cost of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation and drawing together expertise
from the fields of ecosystem science, economics and development policy to
support the mainstreaming of biodiversity and ecosystem considerations in national
policymaking”
• Launched at CBD COP-11 side event on “How to factor natural capital into
decision making and leverage biodiversity finance?” in October 2012
