California Caps and Trades

It will be interesting to see how this saga plays out, as perhaps the prime economic suggestion to limiting emissions runs into the political realities of individual losses.

The economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity

Hi, I wanted to share with you this course held at Yale University about the TEEB initiative.

When I was working at UNEP -LAC I was part of the organization committee for the first course of TEEB for policy makers, which took place in Trinidad and Tobago and now is being replicated and improved and has been taught at Yale University for students.

It is a worldwide initiative and it is mainly about valuing nature: the background and importance, techniques, instruments, pros and cons, context for valuation, etc.

I hope you enjoy it!.
