Ecosystem services
생태계서비스란?
 

생태계서비스는 자연이 우리에게 주는 혜택(서비스). 

서비스의 종류에는 공급서비스 (농림수산물 및 천연자원), 조절서비스 (오염정화, 홍수 및 침식 방지, 서식지제공, 병충해 예방 등), 문화서비스 (경관, 관광, 휴양 등)와 이러한 서비스를 가능하게 하는 지지서비스(생물다양성, 영양순환, 기초생산 등)가 있다. 

 

생태계서비스 파트너십 네트워크(ESP, Ecosystem Services Partnership)는 생태계서비스를 연구하는 학자나 기관들이 함께 생태계가치평가 작업을 하기도 하고, 학회로서 학술적 교류를 진행한다.

 

국내 기관 중에는 국립생태원, 환경정책평가연구원 등 여러 연구기관이 참여하고 있는데, 비연구기관으로서 국립공원관리공단과 자연환경국민신탁이 생태계서비스에 관해 적용과 실행에 적극 참여중이다.    

Millennium Ecosystem Assessment
TEEB

After the study on the monetary value of Earth's natural capital and ecosystem services (Costanza et al., 1997) was published, ecological economists conducted more active research on ecosystem services, and the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment was also conducted with the support of UNEP. The report assessed the relationship between ecosystem services and human well-being. A report on this can be found at the link below. The picture on the right depicts the relationship between welfare and ecosystem services.

Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB)

 A global initiative project created by 13 countries in 2007 after the New Millennium Ecosystem Assessment under the banner of “Let’s reveal invisible ecosystem services.”  The TEEB foundation became the secretariat and progressed to stages I, II, and III, and follows the following principles.  

​

  • Recognizing value

  • Demonstrating value

  • Capturing value

​Currently, TEEB is mainly conducting national ecosystem service evaluation and evaluation by Biome (biosphere: wetlands, forests, coasts, etc.). You can access various reports, including guidelines for cities and companies, through TEEB's link below.
