The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) study is a major international initiative to draw attention to the global economic benefits of biodiversity, to highlight the growing costs of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, and to draw together expertise from the fields of science, economics and policy to enable practical actions moving forward.

Ecosystem services are the benefits that people derive from nature. Some benefits, such as crops, fish, and freshwater (provisioning services), are tangible. Others such as pollination, erosion regulation, climate regulation (regulating services) and aesthetic and spiritual fulfillment (cultural services) are less tangible.

"Neighborhood Watch - Early Detection and Rapid Response to Biological Invasion along U.S Trade Pathways" identifies the crucial measures required to improve biosecurity measures at and around control points in international trade, especially U.S. ports, as well as a possible funding mechanism based upon the

The publication reviews a selection of transboundary governance systems from around the world tackling the issue of shared resources and environmental impacts affecting them.

The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is inviting participation in the peer review of the draft report

Healthy water ecosystems simultaneously serve multiple aspects
of human well-being, especially among poor communities living
close to the land-water interface. Ecosystem services have real
economic value today and special importance in mitigating future
problems and economic losses related to climate change.
