2.4 FRAMEWORK AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR THE POLICY RESPONSE ThE TEEB TooLKIT foR PoLICy ChANGE TEEB aims to help policy-makers reflect the wider framework for policy change when addressing biodiversity issues. It provides concrete examples showing how economic information and/or values can help overcome current difficulties with many biodiversity policies and accelerate policy reform. As noted in 2.2 above, policy makers have a range of options when taking action: • build on good practices that have been proven to work elsewhere; • ensure that existing instruments reach their full potential; • reform harmful subsidies; • develop and implement new policies. Figure 2.1: TEEB Policy Options Overview figure 2.1 provides an overview of available policy instruments analysed in this report. for ease of reference, it divides them into three broad groups: • instruments providing information for biodiversity policies; • instruments setting incentives for behavioural change; and • instruments directly regulating the use of natural resources.
