David Batker (Director of Earth Economics) ABSTRACT: Join us for a 90-minute presentation and discussion exploring innovative applications of economics to further conservation and on-the-ground restoration. David Batker and Jennifer Harrison-Cox from the innovative non-profit Earth Economics (http://www.eartheconomics.org/) will be demonstrating how they put ecological economics to work by looking at case studies in Ecuador, China and the United States. They will discuss how they are working with the US Federal government to include the value of green infrastructure in financial reporting and benefit-cost analysis, how modeling and mapping ecosystem services informs the development of long-term natural capital funding institutions and mechanisms, how ecosystem services can inform jobs analysis, and ways to bring ecosystem services into the built environment to change incentives for green building investment .
