TEEB initiative (2008-2010): assessing the
value of biodiversity & ecosystem services
•

Demonstrate biodiversity, ecosystems & their services
have multiple values – to economy, society, business &
individuals

•

Highlight the benefits (vs. costs) of protecting nature &
natural capital

•

Show how to assess the value of bd and ES – and how it
can be used

•

Show how to integrate these values into everyday
decision-making

Green infrastructure: opportunities for water & nature
Cost savings: flood management (regional)
• Situation: The Napa River Basin (California) suffers
from frequent flooding.

• Assessment: Levees & channel modification to

prevent flooding were deemed unsustainable by the
citizens (eg with several negative impacts to water
quality)

• Outcome: A comprehensive flood control plan to

restore river’s original capacity to handle flood waters
was adopted. Significant mitigation of damages and
over US$ 1.6 billion savings in flood protection.

• Costs of managing green infra < Costs of damage
& manmade infra

Green infrastructure: opportunities for water & nature
Cost savings: flood management (local)
• Situation: Surface runoff from the city of Nummela
(Fin) has been increasing since the expansion of the
city, affecting the quality of surrounding water
bodies.

• Assessment: Management of surface runoff via

‘natural’ means (eg through wetland restoration)
more sustainable and cost effective than manmade
solutions. Such approach also brings co-benefits for
recreation.

• Outcome: Restoration costs for 1 ha of wetland

were 62 000 EUR total (inc. infra for recreation) vs.
costs of manmade infra 50 000 EUR / every 100
meters.

• Costs of restoring green infra < Costs of
manmade infra

Green infrastructure: opportunities for water & nature
Cost savings: waste water management
• Situation: Plans to drain the Nakivubo Swamp
(Kampala, Uganda) (>40 km2) for agriculture.

• Assessment: Waste water treatment & nutrient
retention capacity of the swamp was assessed.
Maintaining wetland (vs. manmade solutions)
resulted in benefits worth ~1 – 1.75 million $ /
year. Also ~2 million $ / year avoided costs of
running a sewage treatment facility.

• Outcome: Plans for draining the wetland were
abandoned and Nakivubo Swamps gazetted as
protected area.

• Costs of green infra < Costs of manmade infra

Green infrastructure: opportunities for water & nature
Cost savings: drinking water management
• Situation: In the Andean region, upstream

ecosystems regulate water supply and purify water
for downstream users.

• Assessment: Maintaining ecosystems’ natural

capacity to maintain and purify water provides a
low-cost option for maintaining access to clean,
regular water supply.

• Outcome: ‘Water Funds’ was established to

compensate upstream land users for managing
forest and grasslands in sustainable manner.

• Costs of green infra < Costs of manmade infra

Green infrastructure: opportunities for water & nature
Protected areas: benefits for biodiversity & water management
•

1/3 of the world’s 100 largest cities draw a
large part of their drinking water from PAs.

•

PAs & forests purify water for NY city = US$ 6
billion (total) savings in water treatment costs

•

80% of Quito’s drinking water originate from
two PAs

•

Venezuela’s national PA system prevents
sedimentation that would reduce farm
earnings by around US$ 3.5 million/year.

• Costs of green infra < Costs of manmade
infra
- See TEEB for national & international / local & regional policy makers 2010 for references -
Green infrastructure: opportunities for water & nature
Business opportunities: payments for ecosystem services (PES)
• Situation: Vittel natural mineral water (FR)

depends on high quality water from Vosges
Mountains (no pre-treatment allowed by law).

• Assessment: Costs of managing upstream

ecosystems in a manner that guarantees
continued supply of clean water are lower than
the costs of moving the sourcing of water
elsewhere.

• Outcome: Farmers upstream are paid to adopt
best low-impact farming practises.

• Maintaining green infra → maintaining
business opportunities

Conclusions: nature, water & green economy

• A ‘truly green’ green economy rests on sustainably managing
natural capital, inc. nature & water.
• Interdependency: quantity & quality of water resources depends
on nature ↔ nature depends on quality & quantity of water
• Ecosystem services provide several opportunities for / support to
green economy
• Investment in green infrastructure leads to cost savings, creates
business opportunities and - if appropriately planned and
implemented – can provide win-wins for both water management
and biodiversity.

'A landmark study on one of the most pressing problems
facing society, balancing economic growth and ecological
protection to achieve a sustainable future.‘

Ecology and Evolution Behaviour, Princeton University, USA

Edited By Patrick ten Brink (Institute for European environmental Policy, IEEP)

Summaries (in range of languages) and chapters

'This work is a landmark. It shows not only that we have been extraordinarily wasteful, destructive and
inefficient in our treatment of the natural environment but also how careful analysis and measurement can
help us change our ways towards a more productive and responsible relationship with our environment. It
provides a fundamental contribution which shows how careful attention to ecosystems and biodiversity can
help guide our response to the two defining challenges of our century: managing climate change and
overcoming poverty.‘

  • 6. TEEB initiative (2008-2010): assessing the value of biodiversity & ecosystem services • Demonstrate biodiversity, ecosystems & their services have multiple values – to economy, society, business & individuals • Highlight the benefits (vs. costs) of protecting nature & natural capital • Show how to assess the value of bd and ES – and how it can be used • Show how to integrate these values into everyday decision-making

  • 11. Green infrastructure: opportunities for water & nature Cost savings: flood management (regional) • Situation: The Napa River Basin (California) suffers from frequent flooding. • Assessment: Levees & channel modification to prevent flooding were deemed unsustainable by the citizens (eg with several negative impacts to water quality) • Outcome: A comprehensive flood control plan to restore river’s original capacity to handle flood waters was adopted. Significant mitigation of damages and over US$ 1.6 billion savings in flood protection. • Costs of managing green infra < Costs of damage & manmade infra - See TEEB for local & regional policy makers 2010 for references - © Andre Kunzelmann / UFZ
  • 12. Green infrastructure: opportunities for water & nature Cost savings: flood management (local) • Situation: Surface runoff from the city of Nummela (Fin) has been increasing since the expansion of the city, affecting the quality of surrounding water bodies. • Assessment: Management of surface runoff via ‘natural’ means (eg through wetland restoration) more sustainable and cost effective than manmade solutions. Such approach also brings co-benefits for recreation. • Outcome: Restoration costs for 1 ha of wetland were 62 000 EUR total (inc. infra for recreation) vs. costs of manmade infra 50 000 EUR / every 100 meters. • Costs of restoring green infra < Costs of manmade infra - Hannele Ahponen & Outi Salminen for TEEB Nordic (upcoming) - © Ympäristölehti 3/2010
  • 13. Green infrastructure: opportunities for water & nature Cost savings: waste water management • Situation: Plans to drain the Nakivubo Swamp (Kampala, Uganda) (>40 km2) for agriculture. • Assessment: Waste water treatment & nutrient retention capacity of the swamp was assessed. Maintaining wetland (vs. manmade solutions) resulted in benefits worth ~1 – 1.75 million $ / year. Also ~2 million $ / year avoided costs of running a sewage treatment facility. • Outcome: Plans for draining the wetland were abandoned and Nakivubo Swamps gazetted as protected area. • Costs of green infra < Costs of manmade infra - See TEEB for local & regional policy makers 2010 for references - ©http://oc.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kampala
  • 14. Green infrastructure: opportunities for water & nature Cost savings: drinking water management • Situation: In the Andean region, upstream ecosystems regulate water supply and purify water for downstream users. • Assessment: Maintaining ecosystems’ natural capacity to maintain and purify water provides a low-cost option for maintaining access to clean, regular water supply. • Outcome: ‘Water Funds’ was established to compensate upstream land users for managing forest and grasslands in sustainable manner. • Costs of green infra < Costs of manmade infra - See TEEB for local & regional policy makers 2010 for references - ©http://conservationvalue.blogspot .com/2006_05_01_archive.htm
  • 15. Green infrastructure: opportunities for water & nature Protected areas: benefits for biodiversity & water management • 1/3 of the world’s 100 largest cities draw a large part of their drinking water from PAs. • PAs & forests purify water for NY city = US$ 6 billion (total) savings in water treatment costs • 80% of Quito’s drinking water originate from two PAs • Venezuela’s national PA system prevents sedimentation that would reduce farm earnings by around US$ 3.5 million/year. • Costs of green infra < Costs of manmade infra - See TEEB for national & international / local & regional policy makers 2010 for references -
  • 16. Green infrastructure: opportunities for water & nature Business opportunities: payments for ecosystem services (PES) • Situation: Vittel natural mineral water (FR) depends on high quality water from Vosges Mountains (no pre-treatment allowed by law). • Assessment: Costs of managing upstream ecosystems in a manner that guarantees continued supply of clean water are lower than the costs of moving the sourcing of water elsewhere. • Outcome: Farmers upstream are paid to adopt best low-impact farming practises. • Maintaining green infra → maintaining business opportunities ©http://www.globalpackagegallery.com/main.p ©http://oc.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kampal hp/v/bev/bottled+water/?g2_page=2 a - See TEEB for national & international policy makers 2010 for references -
  • 17. Conclusions: nature, water & green economy • A ‘truly green’ green economy rests on sustainably managing natural capital, inc. nature & water. • Interdependency: quantity & quality of water resources depends on nature ↔ nature depends on quality & quantity of water • Ecosystem services provide several opportunities for / support to green economy • Investment in green infrastructure leads to cost savings, creates business opportunities and - if appropriately planned and implemented – can provide win-wins for both water management and biodiversity. ©http://oc.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kampal a
  • 18. TEEB 2010 onwards: Independent regional / national / thematic assessments • National TEEB initiatives: TEEB / TEEB inspired ecosystem & ecosystem service assessments in Brazil, India, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway … • Regional TEEB initiatives: “The State and Economics of the Key Ecosystem Services in the Nordic Countries – TEEB Nordic” (May 2011- May 2012). Funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers and led by IEEP and the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) • Thematic TEEB initiatives / synthesis: TEEB Water & Wetlands (Ramsar, IUCN & IEEP) TEEB for Cities, TEEB, natural capital & green economy … • For information & cooperation: please contact Benjamin Simmons for UNEP Green Economy & TEEB global (benjamin.simmons@unep.org), Marianne Kettunen for TEEB Nordic (mkettunen@ieep.eu) and Andrew Farmer for TEEB Water& Wetlands (afarmer@ieep.eu)

It shows not only that we have been extraordinarily wasteful, destructive and inefficient in our treatment of the natural environment but also how careful analysis and measurement can help us change our ways towards a more productive and responsible relationship with our environment. It provides a fundamental contribution which shows how careful attention to ecosystems and biodiversity can help guide our response to the two defining challenges of our century: managing climate change and overcoming poverty.‘ Professor Nicholas Stern, London School of Economics
