Part 1 Concepts and Models

Ecosystem Services Ecology and Economics

1. Ecosystem (Based) (Goods &) Services

“Ecosystem” from Ecology

-natural science methods- “Services”

from Economics -social science methods-

Sun, earth

NATURAL CAPITAL

THE ECOLOGICAL – SOCIAL-ECONOMIC - INSTITUTIONAL SYSTEM

Management/ Restoration

Feedback between value perception and use of eco- system services

Laws and Institutions

Ecosystems (incl. biodiversity)

Functions

Biophysical Structure or process

Pollution, destruction

Services Biomass

work, information

T2. Ecosystem maintenance and restoration

Action 5: Improve knowledge of ecosystems and their services in the EU

Step 1. recognising value map and assess ecosystems and their services by 2014

Step 2. demonstrating value assess the economic value of these services,

Step 3. capturing value values into accounting systems for policy by 2020

Part 3

Ecosystem Services Ecology and Economics

The Challenges 2015 -2020

1. to complete and improve current biophysical maps, to make them useful as a basis for economic (& cultural) valuation 2. to adapt current economic valuation methods to match spatially explicit ecosystem services

3. to develop an "easy to implement" basic valuation approach for member states (a valuation guidance document)

The Challenges 2015 -2020

MAP, ASSESS & VALUATE THE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES OF

SEDIMENT SYSTEMS

4. to train MS teams to build 2nd generation biophysical maps and produce economic value maps

5. to make the valuation approach more sophisticated: ==> plural values, integrated across multiple dimensions

6. to provide "input" for accounting systems

The Challenges 2015 -2020

economic values

"ecological" values

cultural values

MULTIPLE TYPES OF VALUE

social values

values

Economic values – ASSIGNED BY PEOPLE to BENEFITS that contribute

to SURVIVAL, (MATERIAL) WELFARE AND/OR WELL-BEING OF PEOPLE;

Cultural values

– the "APPRECIATION" of the BENEFITS FROM ECOSYSTEMS VIA GOODS AND SERVICES THAT DEFINE, SUPPORT, AND ENHANCE THE CULTURE OF A SOCIETY

Social Values

• the values for groups of people, • The shared preferences among a group

Ecological values An expression of APPRECIATION of nature UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE of biophysical features AS CAUSAL FACTORS in the production of economic or cultural benefits

Awareness raising (reviews, stories, illustrations)

Accounting (private & public balance sheets)

Priority-setting (CBA of landuse zoning, measures, projects)

Instrument design (setting incentive levels, targeting user groups)

Reliability & accuracy requirement

Litigation (damage & compensation claims)

Source: adapted from Gomez-Baggethun and Barton(2013)

ASSIGN VALUE ...FOR WHAT ?

STEP 3: POLICIES TO CAPTURE THE VALUES FOR SOCIETY

• subsidies and fiscal incentives

• charging for access and use

• adaptation/ mitigation strategies

• property rights and liability

• eco-labelling and certification

• payments / compensation for ecosystem services
