The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB)

The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) is a global initiative that highlights the economic value of ecosystems and biodiversity. It aims to demonstrate how nature supports human well-being through services like clean air, food production, and climate regulation. By quantifying these benefits, TEEB encourages policymakers, businesses, and society to recognize the importance of preserving natural resources. Ultimately, it seeks to integrate ecological considerations into economic decisions, promoting sustainable development that balances environmental health with economic growth.
