In January 2009 IEEP, with the Belgian Royal Institute for International Relations EGMONT, organised a conference on ‘The external dimension of the EU Sustainable Development Strategy’. This conference, supported by the Belgian Federal Departments of the Environment and Sustainable Development, brought together experts, officials and stakeholders from EU and non-EU countries to discuss a number of EU policies of significant importance to global sustainable development, and the extent to which the Union is living up to the commitments made in the EU Sustainable Development Strategy. The papers presented at the conference have been published in a themed issue of Studia Diplomatica, the Brussels Journal of International Relations, edited by IEEP Senior Fellow Marc Pallemaerts.

Further details and ordering information. - The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity in National and International Policy Making
In March 2007, at the G8+5 Environment ministers meeting, TEEB: The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity project was set up to provide a comprehensive global assessment of economic aspects of biodiversity and its loss. This book, edited by IEEP Senior Fellow Patrick ten Brink and written by a team of international experts, shows how and why existing prices, markets and policies fail to reflect the true value of ecosystem services and biodiversity and the true cost of ongoing damage. It argues for urgent action and demonstrates the huge range of opportunities already available to respond to the value of nature. It provides authoritative knowledge, rich case studies from across the world and guidance, as well as a toolkit and a way forward to drive the biodiversity conservation agenda for the next decade.
