Description:

The report provides an introduction into the concepts and methods behind the economic valuation of biodiversity and ecosystem services and describes the relevance of those approaches for local and regional policy-making in the EU’s Outermost Regions and Overseas Countries and Territories. It provides an overview of valuation studies that have been carried out in (sub)tropical ecosystems and discusses potentials and barriers for their use in local and regional policy-making.
