  1. Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Dr Richard Mount Environmental Information Services Branch 18/11/2013 Linkages with SEEA-EEA activities IPBES Purpose: ‘to strengthen the science-policy interface for biodiversity and ecosystem services for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, long-term human well-being and sustainable development’.

  2. IPBES background • IPBES-1 Jan 2013, Bonn (following negotiations after the 2005 MEA) • Plenary, Bureau and Multidisciplinary Expert Panel (MEP) • IPBES-2, Antalya, Turkey, 9-14 December 2013 • Work Program (and budget) • Fast Track Assessment – Conceptualization of value, valuation and accounting of biodiversity and ecosystem services.

  3. Fast Track Assessment (FTA) Value, Valuation and Accounting (VVA) VVA FTA Chapter Outline Ch 1: Introduction re human well-being including determinants and distinction between individual and social values Ch 2: Conceptualization of values Ch 3: Introduce concepts and theory of valuation and accounting (build on previous work) Ch 4: Economic methods relevant to ecosystem services Ch 5: Ecosystem services contribution to human health (mental, physical and social) Ch 6: Shared, social and plural values of ecosystems Ch 7: Transition from theory to practice for environmental-economic accounts (SEEA) (learn from case studies whether such systems meet reporting and policy needs) Ch 8: Assess existing capacity to work with value, valuation and accounting techniques (consider capacity building) Ch 9: Examine creation of a framework for embedding ecosystem approach and ecosystem values into appraisals and policy-making and decision-making processes (framework, tools, methods, implementation, assessment of barriers and opportunities)

  4. IPBES FTA VVA Chapter 7 • Chapter 7 will feature a discussion of how to achieve a transition from theory to practicein environmental accounting systems such as the System of Environment-Economic Accounting (SEEA). • Topics will include linkages with national accounts, concepts, principles and procedures, frameworks, methodologies and learning from case studies that test whether such systems meet reporting and policy needs.

  5. SEEA-IPBES linkages • Overlaps • Science-policy-practice interface • Intersection of biophysical, social and economic • Subject matter (BES) • IPBES is assembling intellectual capability • Many authors and reviewers • Producing Chapter and 'Guidelines' • Practical trials • Documentation of SEEA practical trials can contribute to IPBES chapters

  6. Next Steps • Following the Plenary's decision on the Work Program • Look to propose authors in January 2014 • Perhaps have a look at the proposed scope for the FTA VVA (meeting papers) and then watch for the outcomes of IPBES-2
