Bending the curve for biodiversity loss and economy : case study evidence from pollination services loss

This report highlights the challenges in addressing biodiversity-loss related issues and contributes to the economic valuation of biodiversity and its relationship with the financial sector. Through a case study on pollination services loss, we analyse the economic consequences of such losses in Western Europe and North America. We estimate the direct and indirect monetary costs associated with pollination service loss and find that it reduces agricultural output and indirectly affects non-agricultural sectors reliant on agriculture. We also find that implementing proposed measures to reduce such losses may not be financially worthwhile when considering only their pollution-reduction potential. Additional research is needed to assess the cost effectiveness of these measures.
