Contributing authors to the TEEB series, including Study Leader Pavan Sukhdev, and other faculty and experts from around the world teamed up to teach a graduate-level course at Yale in 2011. Issues covered include challenges in valuing biodiversity and ecosystem services, particularly in developing countries, some core frameworks & methodologies for such valuation, local and national policy solutions, and business responses. The course uses case studies from leading experts to explore the impacts on biodiversity of fiscal & economic policies and market mechanisms, including subsidies, property rights regimes, PES schemes, REDD+, and industry environmental strategies.
