Ecosystem services accounting . Part III, Pilot accounts for habitat and species maintenance, on-site soil retention and water purification

Metagegevens publicatie

The purpose of ecosystem services accounting is to quantify the main contributions of ecosystems to society and the economy and to report these contributions in accounting tables that are compatible with the structures and practices used in traditional economic accounting. In 2015, the European Commission launched the Integrated system for Natural Capital Accounting (INCA) project to produce concrete applications for the European Union, compliant with the international standard of the system of environmental economic accounting experimental ecosystem accounting. In this report, we assess, value and account for three new ecosystem services: habitat and species maintenance, on-site soil retention, and water purification. We also review and build on existing ecosystem services accounts, such as crop and timber provision, carbon sequestration and crop pollination. Finally, based on the nine ecosystem services accounts compiled for the EU, we look at the readily available INCA indicators, which can support policy analysis and contribute to international reference frameworks such as the post-2020 global biodiversity framework and the sustainable development goals.
