Bringing the economics of biodiversity into policy and decision-making: A target and cost-based approach to pricing biodiversity
MorePRE-PRINT: The paper proposes a method (TCA) to assign a cost-based “shadow price” to biodiversity based on policy targets. It avoids subjective valuations by linking biodiversity directly to government goals. This enables balanced public spending decisions without compromising biodiversity targets.
Associated Sprint: How do we account for biodiversity?
Associated SDGs: 11 Sustainable cities and communities, 14 Life below water, 15 Life on land

A price to account for biodiversity in central government guidance on public spending
MoreThe policy brief proposes a central biodiversity “accounting price” for UK public spending decisions, similar to carbon pricing, to better integrate nature into government appraisal and policy.
