The TEEB study is a major international initiative to draw attention to the global economic benefits of biodiversity, to highlight the growing costs of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, and to draw together expertise from the fields of science, economics and policy to enable practical actions moving forward.
Several TEEB reports, among which the report “Mainstreaming the Economics of Nature”, a synthesis of the approach, conclusions and recommendations of TEEB, released on 20 October 2010 at the CBD COP10 in Nagoya are available from the TEEB synthesis report web page
