2. TEEB Training What do we mean by the “Invisibility of Nature?”  Refers to undervaluing or overlooking the true value of nature so it can be accounted for appropriately in policymaking. ©UNEP/GRID-Arendal ©TEEB

4. TEEB Training Why is there a need to respond to these invisibilities?  To address ongoing biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation that ultimately impact on human well-being  To assist decision makers to recognize the value of ecosystem services in order to make more informed land-use decisions  To improve policy coherence in relation to natural resource management. ©TEEB

5. TEEB Training Module Goal  Highlight the importance of how responding to nature’s invisibility in your country can help make more informed land-use decisions. ©TEEB

6. TEEB Training Main Objectives of Module  Review key terms and concepts around biodiversity, ecosystems and ecosystem services  Identify key drivers and causes for biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation  Introduce TEEB - its origins and the TEEB approach (recognize, demonstrate, capture)  Determine the policy questions and, using case studies, how the TEEB approach can be applied ©TEEB

7. TEEB Training The Module is broken down into 4 sessions  Session 1: Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services  Session 2: Biodiversity Loss and its drivers  Session 3: The TEEB Approach (Recognize, Demonstrate, Capture)  Session 4: Framing the Issue ©TEEB

10. TEEB Training Learning Outcomes  Understand the key terms and concepts around biodiversity, ecosystems, and ecosystem services  Define ecosystem services and describe a range of examples  Describe the extent of recent biodiversity loss, and explain how the undervaluation of biodiversity and ecosystem services contributes to this loss  Describe how the loss of biodiversity impacts human well-being and economic development  Identify the direct and indirect drivers of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation and how these may be addressed  Capture the basic concepts of the TEEB approach and how it may be applied to real life policy contexts ©TEEB
