Valuing Water and the Environment in Practice
22nd September 2010 — 09:00 to 16:00
Brunei Gallery, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Integrating Costs, Benefits and Ecosystem Services
Throughout the recent water planning cycle for the Periodic Review (PR09) and WFD River Basin plans as well as routinely in many other sectors we subject hundreds of projects and measures to cost benefit and cost effectiveness analysis.
This conference will explore the emerging lessons from the recent water planning cycle (PR09 & WFD) on the use of economic decision support tools and to consider this in the light of the emerging practice from projects using ecosystem services. It will aim to identify and clarify important issues in order to inform the development of these tools for future project and planning appraisal.
The objectives include:
- To hear range of views on recent work, guidance and reviews on Cost Benefit Analysis and Cost Effectiveness Analysis and their application in the wider water and environmental sector
- Looking at recent applications of the ecosystem services approach at a practical level
- Exploring how the application of CBA/CEA could embrace more effectively the thinking embodied in the ecosystem services approach, not least in multi-objective – multiple benefit projects
- It will identify and clarify important issues in order to inform the development of these tools
Who should attend?
- Practitioners who have to use CBA/CEA and ecosystem service approaches
- Practitioners using these techniques in the water (flooding, resources, quality), biodiversity, coastal and marine, and environmental sectors
- Regulators who commission this work
- Decision makers who have to use valuation project outcomes to facilitate decision making
