OECD work programme on Biodiversity, Land Use and Ecosystems, including marine biodiversity
by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (Intergovernmental organization)
The OECD work programme on biodiversity, land use and ecosystems (BLUE) aims to support OECD and non-OECD countries by providing policy analysis to promote the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity (terrestrial and marine). Recent OECD work relevant to marine biodiversity includes "Marine Protected Areas: Economics, Management and Effective Policy Mixes". Work currently underway is focusing on evaluating the impact of biodiversity policies (terrestrial and marine) in terms of outcomes, and the cost-effectiveness of these interventions.
