Objectives




Potsdam 2007: meeting of the environment ministers of the G8
  countries and the five major newly industrialising countries

             “Potsdam Initiative – Biological Diversity 2010”
  1) The economic significance of the global loss of biological diversity
          In a global study we will initiate the process of analysing
            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.
Objectives (TEEB)

The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity - TEEB’s goals are

• To mainstream the economics of ecosystems and biodiversity

• To address the needs of the “end-users” of these economics : policy-
  makers, local administrators, corporations and citizens

• To review extensively the current state of the science and economics of
  ecosystems and biodiversity, and recommend a valuation framework and
  methodology

    Phase 1 was some preliminary scoping work, ground work, some first analysis,
clarification as to how to address the wider goals, preliminary identification of experts
               and organisations who could contribute to the wider work.

    Now that Phase 1 was a success the process (already intense) is intensifying.
     Involvement from different organisations will be invaluable for the success.

The TEEB “Phase 1”: Interim Report
The Urgency for Action




               The Ecological Case
Past Losses
       Global Forest Area has shrunk by approximately 40% since 1700. Forests have
      completely disappeared in 25 countries [1].

       Since 1900, the world has lost about 50%of its wetlands. [2].

       Some 20% of the world’s coral reefs - have been effectively destroyed by
      fishing, pollution, disease and coral bleaching approximately 24% of the
      remaining reefs in the world are under imminent risk of collapse through human
      pressures.[3]

       In the past two decades, 35% of mangroves have disappeared. Some countries
      have lost up to 80% through conversion for aquaculture, overexploitation and
      storms.[4]
       rate of species extinction is estimated to be 100 to 1,000 times more rapid than the
      “natural” extinction rate (MA 2005).

ESS service provision and spatial relation
Example: carbon storage




              t C/ha




 Production rates, flows and values all vary spatially – so simple benefits transfer misleading
  Services produced and enjoyed in different places – so spatial understanding essential for
interventions to be effective
  Costs and benefits of conserving services accrue in different places – so spatial understanding
essential for interventions to be equitable

“Net” ecosystem services

• As land is degraded more artificial inputs are needed to get the same
   provisioning service (eg crops) … with due costs
• Share of ecosystem service drops as soil is degraded.
“production function” changes over time


  Challenge to estimate clearly the value of biodiversity.
  Important as part of an analysis of conversion from one land use to another
  What appear as positive gains from a conversion may well not be.
  Decision making should be based on the right evidence…..

The Evaluation Challenge




What should we measure to understand and communicate the problem?

                 How can we go about doing this?

       There are different audiences, and different messages are needed for each.
       Different types of messages have different power and different reach.


         The overall aim is to get the message across to the (range of) key
        audiences – in a manner that is representative of the facts and that
        engages interest. Hence, we need to work out how best to combine
                    monetary and non-monetary information.

Elements of the Evaluation challenge

     Data Gaps – how can we work with the gaps before we fill them?

     Substitutability (or lack of) and irreversibility

     Linear vs non-linear changes / threshold issues

     Risks and Scientific Uncertainty

     Spatial perspective – provision of service and benefit from service not always in
     the same location

     Some costs only have an effect in future generations

     Inherent biases in the economic valuation system?
          eg greater focus & ease of analysis for commodity prices related valuations

     Biases in the application of valuation - certain priorities and not others?
          eg global issues focus rather than local?
     Biases in use of discount rate ?
      Ethical issues – anthropocentric approach;
 equity, fairness.

COPI - Some key results

• The loss of natural areas over the period 2000 to 2050 is 7.5million km2
  - broadly equivalent to the total area of the Australia.

• When looking at the combined loss of natural and bare natural areas and
  extensive agriculture the area is equivalent to that of the entire United
  States of America.

• The loss of welfare in 2050 from the cumulative loss of ecosystem
  services between now and then amounts to $14 trillion (10^12) Euros
  under the fuller estimation scenario

• This is equivalent in scale to 7% of projected global GDP for 2050.

• The loss grows with each year of biodiversity and ecosystem loss

COPI - Some key results (cont.)

•   In the early years (e.g. period 2000 to 2010) less biodiversity has been lost
    (than in later years), less land-conversion has taken place, and less damage
    has occurred due to fragmentation, climate change or pollution. The loss over
    the period 2000 to 2010 is, however, still substantial.
•   For the fuller estimate the welfare losses from the loss of ecosystem services
    amount to 545 billion EUR in 2010 or just under 1% of world GDP by 2010.


•This amounts to around 50 billion Euros
extra loss per year, every year – in the
early years.


•The value of the amount lost every year
rises, until it is around 275bn EUR/yr in
2050.

Next Steps
TEEB Phase 1 Launch at Bonn. Phase 2 up to June 2009. Final report COP-10

Launch led to high level commitment to Phase 2.

A range of interest from wide set of organisations
    High level Advisory Board
    Core team and wider expert team - being developed
    Contributions from far and wide

A wide range of tasks expected to be addressed in the work

    Estimation of loss of value from ecosystem & biodiversity losses (global & local)

    Estimation of costs and benefits of action

    Guidance/Toolkit of instruments / policies where benefits valuation may help
  improve practice – for range of stakeholders (policy makers, to local authorities, to
  corporations to individuals).
Issues needing exploration (own view)

• Fine-tuning of valuation framework and development of
  recommended valuation framework
• More valuation of the benefits of ecosystems/biodiversity
  and the COPI & analysis of the costs and benefits of action
• Risk assessment of different action/inaction
  strategies/scenarios
• Sectoral analysis: Sector role in drawing down natural
  capital, sectors benefitting from natural capital, and which
  sectors have the most potential to improve things?
Issues needing exploration
Broad messages (and areas to explore),
  Rethink today’s subsidies to reflect tomorrow’s priorities;
     eg Fisheries subsidies
  Reward unrecognized benefits, penalise uncaptured costs
     eg PES, liability, PPP
  Share the benefits of conservation;
     eg Benefits sharing
  Measure what you manage.
     Valuation for local decision making to national accounts
      Valuation and role for individuals and corporations.
 TEEB can contribute to processes behind each of the above.
Summary – Implications of the Report

•   The beginning of an important process leading to improved appreciation of
    biodiversity and ecosystems.

The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity and The Cost of Policy Inaction prentation by Patrick ten Brink of IEEP at the EEB biodiversity seminar 9 June 2008

  • 1. The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) The Cost of Policy Inaction (COPI) Insights into the Sukhdev Report Patrick ten Brink Senior Fellow and Head of Brussels Office TEEB Core Team Member COPI Deputy project lead responsible for monetary estimate Building on the Pavan Sukhdev led TEEB, the Alterra and IEEP led COPI. & building on the work of TEEB Core team (Pavan Sukhdev, EC, German BMU, EEA, UFZ, IEEP, UoL, IIT) 9 June 2008 EEB Seminar ptenbrink@ieep.eu www.ieep.eu

  • 3. Objectives Potsdam 2007: meeting of the environment ministers of the G8 countries and the five major newly industrialising countries “Potsdam Initiative – Biological Diversity 2010” 1) The economic significance of the global loss of biological diversity In a global study we will initiate the process of analysing 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.
  • 4. Objectives (TEEB) The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity - TEEB’s goals are • To mainstream the economics of ecosystems and biodiversity • To address the needs of the “end-users” of these economics : policy- makers, local administrators, corporations and citizens • To review extensively the current state of the science and economics of ecosystems and biodiversity, and recommend a valuation framework and methodology Source: Pavan Sukhdev, Bonn 2008 Phase 1 was some preliminary scoping work, ground work, some first analysis, clarification as to how to address the wider goals, preliminary identification of experts and organisations who could contribute to the wider work. Now that Phase 1 was a success the process (already intense) is intensifying. Involvement from different organisations will be invaluable for the success.

  • 9. Past Losses Global Forest Area has shrunk by approximately 40% since 1700. Forests have completely disappeared in 25 countries [1]. Since 1900, the world has lost about 50%of its wetlands. [2]. Some 20% of the world’s coral reefs - have been effectively destroyed by fishing, pollution, disease and coral bleaching approximately 24% of the remaining reefs in the world are under imminent risk of collapse through human pressures.[3] In the past two decades, 35% of mangroves have disappeared. Some countries have lost up to 80% through conversion for aquaculture, overexploitation and storms.[4] rate of species extinction is estimated to be 100 to 1,000 times more rapid than the “natural” extinction rate (MA 2005).

  • 25. ESS service provision and spatial relation Example: carbon storage t C/ha Production rates, flows and values all vary spatially – so simple benefits transfer misleading Services produced and enjoyed in different places – so spatial understanding essential for interventions to be effective Costs and benefits of conserving services accrue in different places – so spatial understanding essential for interventions to be equitable Source: Andrew Balmford & Ana Rodrigues 2008 Presentation within the Scoping the Science work
  • 26. “Net” ecosystem services • As land is degraded more artificial inputs are needed to get the same provisioning service (eg crops) … with due costs • Share of ecosystem service drops as soil is degraded. “production function” changes over time Challenge to estimate clearly the value of biodiversity. Important as part of an analysis of conversion from one land use to another What appear as positive gains from a conversion may well not be. Decision making should be based on the right evidence….. Climate Food Climate regulation regulation Food Energy Energy Value – first estimate - - Upon closer analysis Net value less Soil Freshwater Soil Freshwater protection protection
  • 27. The Evaluation Challenge What should we measure to understand and communicate the problem? How can we go about doing this?
  • 28. Measuring Benefits of Ecosystem services: The Benefits Pyramid What can be said in what terms and what was explored? Non-Specified Monetary: eg avoided water Benefits purification costs, tourist value Increasing up the benefits Monetary Value pyramid Quantitative: eg number people benefiting from wood from forests Quantitative Review of Effects Type of benefits; health, social, income, wellbeing Qualitative Review Knowledge gaps Full range of ecosystem services from biodiversity The “known- unknowns” and “unknown-unknowns”
  • 29. Interest and evidence Level of information Level of press/interest Quantitative / qualitative Monetary There are different audiences, and different messages are needed for each. Different types of messages have different power and different reach. The overall aim is to get the message across to the (range of) key audiences – in a manner that is representative of the facts and that engages interest. Hence, we need to work out how best to combine monetary and non-monetary information.
  • 30. Different Measures to represent the monetary and non- monetary benefits. The single global number Politicians, media, Non specified Ranges general public benefits.

  • 33. Relation of Habitat Area, its loss & Ecosystem Service Illustration of realities & evaluation challenge Initially insensitive (eg loss of part of large forest and tourism or recreation) or due to slow draw down of stock (eg fish) or due to initial substitution possibilities 100% Threshold – eg change of recreation desitination, of fish Linear - eg food or fuel stock collapse for region provision from land, carbon storage EV Exponential decline – eg for low resilance / fragile ecosystem or area near a threshold such as minimum 0% habitat area for a species. Pristine Area loss Full area loss
  • 34. Elements of the Evaluation challenge Data Gaps – how can we work with the gaps before we fill them? Substitutability (or lack of) and irreversibility Linear vs non-linear changes / threshold issues Risks and Scientific Uncertainty Spatial perspective – provision of service and benefit from service not always in the same location Some costs only have an effect in future generations Inherent biases in the economic valuation system? eg greater focus & ease of analysis for commodity prices related valuations Biases in the application of valuation - certain priorities and not others? eg global issues focus rather than local? Biases in use of discount rate ? Ethical issues – anthropocentric approach; equity, fairness.

  • 41. COPI - Some key results • The loss of natural areas over the period 2000 to 2050 is 7.5million km2 - broadly equivalent to the total area of the Australia. • When looking at the combined loss of natural and bare natural areas and extensive agriculture the area is equivalent to that of the entire United States of America. • The loss of welfare in 2050 from the cumulative loss of ecosystem services between now and then amounts to $14 trillion (10^12) Euros under the fuller estimation scenario • This is equivalent in scale to 7% of projected global GDP for 2050. • The loss grows with each year of biodiversity and ecosystem loss Source: L. Braat & P. ten Brink (eds.) 2008 COPI
  • 42. COPI - Some key results (cont.) • In the early years (e.g. period 2000 to 2010) less biodiversity has been lost (than in later years), less land-conversion has taken place, and less damage has occurred due to fragmentation, climate change or pollution. The loss over the period 2000 to 2010 is, however, still substantial. • For the fuller estimate the welfare losses from the loss of ecosystem services amount to 545 billion EUR in 2010 or just under 1% of world GDP by 2010. •This amounts to around 50 billion Euros extra loss per year, every year – in the early years. •The value of the amount lost every year rises, until it is around 275bn EUR/yr in 2050.

  • 50. Next Steps TEEB Phase 1 Launch at Bonn. Phase 2 up to June 2009. Final report COP-10 Launch led to high level commitment to Phase 2. A range of interest from wide set of organisations High level Advisory Board Core team and wider expert team - being developed Contributions from far and wide A wide range of tasks expected to be addressed in the work Estimation of loss of value from ecosystem & biodiversity losses (global & local) Estimation of costs and benefits of action Guidance/Toolkit of instruments / policies where benefits valuation may help improve practice – for range of stakeholders (policy makers, to local authorities, to corporations to individuals).
  • 51. Issues needing exploration (own view) • Fine-tuning of valuation framework and development of recommended valuation framework • More valuation of the benefits of ecosystems/biodiversity and the COPI & analysis of the costs and benefits of action • Risk assessment of different action/inaction strategies/scenarios • Sectoral analysis: Sector role in drawing down natural capital, sectors benefitting from natural capital, and which sectors have the most potential to improve things?
  • 52. Issues needing exploration Broad messages (and areas to explore), Rethink today’s subsidies to reflect tomorrow’s priorities; eg Fisheries subsidies Reward unrecognized benefits, penalise uncaptured costs eg PES, liability, PPP Share the benefits of conservation; eg Benefits sharing Measure what you manage. Valuation for local decision making to national accounts Valuation and role for individuals and corporations. TEEB can contribute to processes behind each of the above.
  • 53. Summary – Implications of the Report • The beginning of an important process leading to improved appreciation of biodiversity and ecosystems. • Better understanding of value, and uncosted value • Engagement by wide group of experts started and more en route / beneficial. • Opportunity to contribute – integrated into the process, coordinated / communicated and in parallel. • Foresee significant advance in benefits and cost of biodiversity valuation • Need complementary tools and indicators • Better information for better evidenced based decision making (contribution to Beyond GDP related efforts) • Improving tools and decisions (eg local, regional, national) • More difficult to make the wrong decisions / inappropriate tradeoffs • Contribute to thinking, understanding, commitment and tools to help slow/stop biodiversity loss.
