The 2010 forum

The dis­cus­sion forum ran between November 2009 through to January 2010.

  • The dis­cus­sion took place around the top­ics 1 – 6 shown on the box on the left, but people were free to sug­gest new top­ics by con­tact­ing the mod­er­at­ors.
  • The dis­cus­sion was sum­mar­ized peri­od­ic­ally and key points under each topic highlighted.
  • The key points were fed into a work­shop on CICES held at the EEA between 2-4th December 2009, and the out­puts pos­ted for fur­ther comment.
  • A final sum­mary doc­u­ment was then presen­ted to the UNSD in June 2010.

People’s names are attached to the com­ments - but the e-mail addresses were not pub­lished as part of the forum; e-mails were used only as part of the regis­tra­tion process.

You can review the com­ments made by select­ing the topic from the menu on the left. Shorter sum­mar­ies can be found on the RESOURCES page

If you would like to leave a new com­ment on any issue please select TOPIC 7: Comments on the 2011 CICES Update

A copy of the update paper pre­pared for dis­cus­sion at the expert meet­ing on eco­sys­tem accounts organ­ised by the UNSD, the EEA and the World Bank, London, December 2011 can be down­loaded by fol­low­ing this link, or by going to the RESOURCES page. The update doc­u­ment might also be con­sidered in rela­tion to the ‘exper­i­mental frame­work for eco­sys­tem cap­ital account­ing in Europe’ pro­posed by the EEA in 2011 (Weber, 2011).
