1. What is TEEB?
TEEB – genesis, scope, ambition
➢ Stern Review on the Economics of Climate
Change (2007)➢ Biodiversity/climate change:
1. biodiversity is the living fabric of our planet
including all its ecosystems, species and
genes

ecosystem service –trade-offs

3. We have an intrinsic connection with nature
and biodiversity. Any (instrumental)
valuation must not commodify nature. TEEB
does not.
TEEB initiative (2008-2012)
TEEB – Aichi targets
➢ Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020
(the Aichi Biodiversity targets), target 2:
➢ “by 2020, at the latest, biodiversity values
have been integrated into national and local
development and poverty reduction
strategies and planning processes and are
being incorporated into national accounting,
as appropriate, and reporting systems.”
TEEB 2013 – present
➢ Implementation phase:1. TEEB Country Studies
2. Ecosystem Accounting
3. TEEB for Agriculture and Food
System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA)
• The SEEA Central Framework was adopted as an international statistical standard by the UN Statistical Commission in 2012
• The SEEA Experimental Ecosystem Accounting complements the Central Framework and represents international efforts toward coherent ecosystem accounting

2. Why is TEEB working
on agri-food systems?
Why select the Agriculture sector?
What does TEEB bring to the table?
3. Who is in the room,
and what do we ask of you?
TEEBAgriFood Projects1. Global Alliance funding (February 2018)
– Haripriya Gundimeda (Wheat value chain North India)
– Peter May (Cattle and Soy in Amazon)
2. TEEBAgriFood DEVCO Africa (April 2019) – Livestock (Tanzania), cocoa (Ghana), coffee (Ethiopia), rice (Senegal)
3. IKI studies (December 2019)– Colombia: Putumayo Department - includes Amazon lowlands, highland
forests, Colombian plateau and several important water basins
– Kenya, options are two upper Basin areas (Tana Basin and Ewaso NjiroBasin), the Mau catchment area/ Mara River Basin and the drainage basin from Mt Suswa to Lake Magadi
– Thailand – organics production
– Tanzania - Southern Highlands (tbc)
4. EU Partnership Instrument (December 2022)– Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Thailand
