This report presents a first-of-its-kind integrated ecosystem-economy modeling exercise to assess economic policy responses to the global biodiversity crisis. Modeling the interaction between nature’s services and the global economy to 2030, the report points to a range and combination of policy scenarios available to reduce the impact of nature’s loss on economies.

The modeling framework presented in the report integrates select ecosystem services into a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. This allows the study of the impact of changes in select ecosystem services on the global economy and vice versa between 2021 and 2030.

The report also assesses the link between the decline of select ecosystem services - pollination of crops by wild pollinators, climate regulation from carbon storage and sequestration, provision of food from marine fisheries and provision of timber - and the performance of key sectors that rely on these services, such as agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors and related industries.
