CBD COP10 Nagoya - World Bank Global Partnership for Ecosystem Valuation 25 October 2010
Recurrent demands for improved macro-economic indicators and aggregates
• Historical pioneer projects…• Rio1992, • UN SEEA1993 to “adjust” the UN SNA, revised in 2003• Recent reminders:
– Beyond GDP Conference– Potsdam 2008 G8+5 initiative and TEEB– Stiglitz/ Sen/ Fitoussi report on the measurement of economic
performance
• SEEA revision for 2012/13, including now a special volume on ecosystem accounts and valuation
• Practical initiatives in Europe, Eurostat (the economy side) and the EEA (the ecosystem side)
CBD COP10 Nagoya - World Bank Global Partnership for Ecosystem Valuation 25 October 2010
Fast track implementation of ecosystem accounts in Europe by 2011

Characteristics of ecosystem capital accounts
• Top-down approach• Starting from physical accounts from which are derived macro-
economic aggregates: sustainable benefits supported by ecosystem services & ecosystem capital depreciation
• Meet the policy demand: annual updates for t – 1• Compiled at the European scale from spatially referenced data• Deep rooted in the best available datasets:
– Socio-economic statistics – Monitoring by satellites (land use, biomass, climate variables…)– Best available in situ monitoring data
• Necessary additional estimations must be transparent and reproducible
• Relevance matters more than accuracy
