International Exchange of TEEB
In the Keynote Report of the 18th National Congress of Communist
Party of China (CPC), the promotion and realization of ecological
progress was taken as a very important issue.
It was pointed out that “Promoting ecological progress is a long-term
task of vital importance to the people's wellbeing and China's future.
Faced with increasing resource constraints, severe environmental
pollution and a deteriorating ecosystem, we must raise our ecological
awareness of the need to respect, accommodate to and protect nature.
We must give high priority to making ecological progress and
incorporate it into all aspects and the whole process of advancing
economic, political, cultural, and social progress, work hard to build a
beautiful country, and achieve lasting and sustainable development of the
Chinese nation.”
�Ecological Progress in China
The 5th Sino-German Workshop on Biodiversity Conservation was
jointly held by CRAES and BfN in Lanzhou in July 2012, China
International Exchange of TEEB
Dr. Pavan Sukhdev, Prof. Beate Jessel, Prof. Meng Wei answered questions as
thematic chairs in International High-Level Forum on the Economics of
Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) - Towards a National TEEB Process held
in Beijing last July.

Dr.Pavan Sukhdev gave a
presentation
Amina Mohamed, Excutive
Director, UNEP gave a speech
CRAES proposed scientific
recommendation to the
Ministry of Environmental
Protection (MEP), China for
launching National TEEB
Process.
International Exchange of TEEB
� Follow-up of the Workshop
“Explore biodiversity
values - a new choice to
protect biodiversity” was
published in Environmental
Protection.
International Exchange of TEEB
� Follow-up of the Workshop
� On May 22-25, 2013, 3 delegates from MEP, CRAES and
Hunan environmental research institute attended the
International Workshop on TEEB Research and
Application in Vilm Island, Germany.
� On July15-20, 2013, Ecological Progress Forum was
organized by MEP in Yunnan, China, in which TEEB was
one of the themes.
International Exchange of TEEB
Case Studies
� The total value of China’s ecological service was RMB7783 billion per year (1994 as base year), which is 1.73 times of China’s GDP.
� Among the total values, the service value of the terrestrial ecosystem was RMB5610 billion per year, and marine ecosystem was 2174 billion per year.
� The value was underestimated due to defect in calculation and parameter selection. (Chen Zhongxin et al. 2000)
� 1. Study on Valuation of Regional Ecosystem Services
� Taking province(city) as the accounting unit, ecosystem
services assessment was conducted for China’s rural
ecological resources during 1989-2007.
� The result showed the ecological services value firstly
increased and then decreased, with 40% of ecosystem
service value reduced from forest and grassland. (Liang Liutao
& Feng Shuyi, 2011, )
Case Studies
� 1. Study on Valuation of Regional Ecosystem Services
� Non-use value was amounted to RMB 4.3 billion based on study in Changbaishan Mountain Nature Reserve (Xue Dayuan, 2000) ;
� The total value of the forestry services was estimated to be 30601.20××××108 Yuan/year. Indirect value was 14.94 times of their direct economic value. (Yu Xinxiao, 2005);
� The ecological service value reached 2571178××××108 Yuan annually delivered by natural grassland in Tibet Plateau (Xie Gaodi, 2003);
� 3.6××××1010 Yuan of ecological service value was delivered by Poyang Lakeand 8.1 billion by Dongting Lake (Cui Lijun, 2004).

Many fish species become endangered due to human and natural interventions. It is estimated 92 fish
species, 10% of the freshwater became endangered.

Liaohe River
Case Studies
� Value assessment was made on 36 species of pollinating bees. The results showed the value pollinated by 36 species of bees could be up to 304 billion Yuan in 2006-2008, which was 76 times of the total values of national bee industry, equivalent to 12.3% of the total national agricultural output (Liu Pengfei et al.);
� The economic values by insects pollination on fruits and vegetables was amounted to USD52 billion, which was 25.5% of total fruits and vegetables outputs (An Jiandong, Chen Wenfeng, 2008);
� Soybean genetic value;
� Economic value of Giant Panda(1million Yuan);
� Tibetan antelope;
3. Species Valuation Assessment
Case Studies
Each Giant panda was
valued RMB600,000
Tibetan antelope in Qiangtang
was valued RMB0.75 billion
Yuan/a, higher than the total
outputs from six counties of
Natural Reserves in 2007,
which was RMB0.5 billion
Yuan.

Progress of Projects
Progress of Projects
Evaluation on typical demonstration area (1)
Loess Plateau::::Typical fragile ecosystem in China
Research contents:
a)Identify the biodiversity and main services delivered by the
ecosystem;
b)Evaluate biodiversity prior to and post land conversion to
forestry and grassland, temporal dynamics and space
variation. Driving mechanism will be analyzed;
c)Analyze balances among multi functions and services;

biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services
Outlook
Programme (to be) Applied and Proposed
� China-EU Policy Dialogue TEEB Platform Programme
(jointly with BFN) with the aim to promote TEEB dialogue
and communication, improve public awareness and
mainstreaming of natural assets while integrating policy
making process
� 2015 Environmental Commonweal Programme of TEEB
Outlook
Mainstreaming natural assets
� Establish evaluation methodology to conduct natural
assets assessment at county level or regional level;
� Natural assets should be integrated in local GDP
accounting
� Natural assets should be integrated into policy making
and commercial development
� Implementation of ecological compensation
