TEEB synthesizes knowledge from ecology, economics, policy, and social sciences to provide recommendations to end users (namely national and local governments and businesses) to measure, value, and mainstream biodiversity and ecosystem services into their respective decision-making processes. Conventional economic aggregates generated through national accounting, such as GDP, do … Continue reading
