The International Launch of the The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) D2: Report for Local and Regional Policy Makers:
2010/07/30
The ICLEI Africa Local Action for Biodiversity team has been contracted by UNEP in partnership with the South African Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) to coordinate the Cape Town leg of TEEB D2 Report launch.
The launch will form part of an international launch to be held in four cities simultaneously, Ghent (Belgium), New Delhi (India), Curitiba (Brazil) and in Cape Town (South Africa). LAB has developed the programme for a two day symposium.
The symposium will explore the practical benefits that local authorities stand to gain from the valuation of ecosystem services. The launch will feature expert speakers giving practical examples, along with an official political launch in parliament, a gala dinner, a site visit and Mayoral lunch arranged by the City of Cape Town.
Other partners include The South African National Institute for Biodiversity (SANBI) and the South African National Parks (SANParks).
