The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity Study

The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) is a decision-making framework that assigns economic value to the natural environment, highlighting how ecosystems provide vital services like clean water, pollination, and climate regulation. By quantifying these benefits, TEEB helps policymakers and society understand that protecting biodiversity and ecosystems is not just an environmental issue but also essential for economic sustainability and human well-being. It encourages investments in conservation by demonstrating that healthy ecosystems support economic resilience, reduce costs, and improve quality of life.
