TEEB Country Studies –Learning from Experience and how to Utilize the Results
International Workshop, 21 – 25 May 2013, Isle of Vilm, Germany
TEEB Nordic – starting point
- Developing regional knowledge base: need for first regional synthesis of ES and their socio-economic importance / value
- Regional policy influence & awareness raising: need for Nordic information and examples
- Support to national studies: basis for TEEB Finland, possible support to TEEB Norway, Sweden etc.
TEEB Nordic – approach & governance
• Initiated and funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) in the context of the Finnish Presidency 2011, carried out in the context of TEEB
• Coordination & synthesis: IEEP and Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE)
• Participatory process: contributions and support from a range of Nordic and other experts, inc. stand-alone case studies, ES maps by JRC
• Review process: review by global and Nordic experts
TEEB Nordic – objectives / aspects explored
1. Conseptual: identification and classification of Nordic ES and their indicators
2. Evidence base: Synthesis of biophysical status and trends (info, gaps, examples)
3. Evidence base: Synthesis of socio-economic importance and value (info, gaps, examples)
4. Policy advice: Exploring policy responses (info, examples)
Conceptual work: systematic
identification of biophys & socio-
econ indicators for Nordic ES

Carbon storage (above and below ground) (tonnes / ha) based on the models of JRC. (Maes et al. 2011a, 2011b).
TEEB Nordic – utilisation of results
• Starting point for TEEB Finland (2013-2014)
• Basis for further work at Nordic level, from high level policy recommendations to concrete work by NCM working groups
• Contribution to global TEEB lessons learned
• Possible contributions to TEEBs Norway, Sweden … ?
