OECD 2008: Implementation of the 2004 OECD Council recommendation on the use of economic instruments in promoting the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity |
| Description |
|
This report is designed to take stock of the economic instruments for biodiversity management that have been newly introduced or further strengthened since the Recommendation was adopted in 2004. In order to do that, it lists the economic instruments which have been implemented in 19 member countries (and the European Commission) that fall under six different categories of instruments and for eight policy areas. It provides a snapshot on what economic instruments are more commonly used for certain policy purposes and in certain policy areas, as well as what economic instruments are less frequently applied. This report does not provide an exhaustive review of current biodiversity policies. Rather, it aims to support policy makers in understanding the recent trends and developments in the use of economic instruments for biodiversity management and, as appropriate, to identify priority issues for the years to come. This report does not attempt to assess the effectiveness of any of the economic instruments applied, or the overall performance of any country’s biodiversity policy |
