TEEB Country Studies – Learning from Experience and how to Utilize the Results International Workshop, 21 – 25 May 2013, Isle of Vilm, Germany
TEEB Nordic – starting point - Developing regional knowledge base: need for first regional synthesis of ES and their socio-economic importance / value - Regional policy influence & awareness raising: need for Nordic information and examples - Support to national studies: basis for TEEB Finland, possible support to TEEB Norway, Sweden etc.
TEEB Nordic – approach & governance Initiated and funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) in the context of the Finnish Presidency 2011, carried out in the context of TEEB Coordination & synthesis: IEEP and Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) Participatory process: contributions and support from a range of Nordic and other experts, inc. stand-alone case studies, ES maps by JRC Review process: review by global and Nordic experts
TEEB Nordic – objectives / aspects explored 1.Conseptual: identification and classification of Nordic ES and their indicators 2.Evidence base: Synthesis of biophysical status and trends (info, gaps, examples) 3.Evidence base: Synthesis of socio-economic importance and value (info, gaps, examples) 4.Policy advice: Exploring policy responses (info, examples)

Existing evidance base: biophys status Soil organic carbon content based on the models of JRC. (Maes et al. 2011a). Carbon storage (above and below ground) (tonnes / ha) based on the models of JRC. (Maes et al. 2011a, 2011b).
Existing evidance base: socio-econ value Data source: TEEB Nordic report
