'A landmark study on one of the most pressing problems facing society, balancing economic growth and ecological protection to achieve a sustainable future.' – Simon Levin, Moffett Professor of Biology, Department of Ecology and Evolution Behaviour, Princeton University, USA
'TEEB brings a rigorous economic focus to bear on the problems of ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss, and on their impacts on human welfare. TEEB is a very timely and useful study not only of the economic and social dimensions of the problem, but also of a set of practical solutions which deserve the attention of policy-makers around the world.' – Nicholas Stern, I.G. Patel Professor of Economics and Government at the London School of Economics and Chairman of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment
'The [TEEB] project should show us all how expensive the global destruction of the natural world has become and - it is hoped - persuade us to slow down.' – The Guardian
'Biodiversity is the living fabric of this planet - the quantum and the variability of all its ecosystems, species, and genes. And yet, modern economies remain largely blind to the huge value of the abundance and diversity of this web of life, and the crucial and valuable roles it plays in human health, nutrition, habitation and indeed in the health and functioning of our economies. Humanity has instead fabricated the illusion that somehow we can get by without biodiversity, or that it is somehow peripheral to our contemporary world. The truth is we need it more than ever on a planet of six billion heading to over nine billion people by 2050. This volume of 'TEEB' explores the challenges involved in addressing the economic invisibility of biodiversity, and organises the science and economics in a way decision makers would find it hard to ignore.' – Achim Steiner, Executive Director, United Nations Environment Programme
'The volume will be very helpful not only to researchers working in the area of economics of ecosystems and biodiversity, but also to policy makers who will benefit from the concrete applied examples of valuations which could support policy design.' – Anastasios Xepapadeas, Editor, Environmental and Development Economics, Cambridge University Press.
'This is a thoroughly readable, enjoyable, and instructive book. I am neither an ecologist nor an economist, and I recommend it to those who are, and to those who are not.' – Craig Pearson, Australasian Journal of Environmental Management
