In the framework of the EU political commitment to protect the biodiversity, a Green Week has been organised between 3-6 June, in Brussels.
During this Green Week 2008, environmental actors took a closer look at the sustainable use of natural resources, focusing on waste management, sustainable consumption and production.
The programme was divided into two sessions, both on the value of biodiversity and ecosystems.
The 1st session focused on the concept of biodiversity and ecosystem services and considered the sorts of policy action that will be required to safeguard this irreplaceable resource. The 2nd session focused on the economic effects of global biodiversity loss, weighing up the cost of failure to take protective measures and the benefits of effective conservation.
