the TEEB (The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity)

The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) is a global initiative that highlights the true value of nature’s ecosystems and species. It emphasizes that healthy ecosystems—like forests, rivers, and oceans—provide essential services such as clean water, air, food, and climate regulation. TEEB aims to incorporate these ecological benefits into economic decisions, encouraging policies and practices that protect and restore biodiversity. By doing so, it helps society recognize that investing in nature’s health is not only good for the environment but also vital for economic stability and human well-being.
