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.
