PIANIFICAZIONE INTEGRATA
Per esempio nel 2010 l'Agenzia Europea per
l'Ambiente pubblicò dieci messaggi per difendere la
biodiversità. 10 messages for 2010: Each message
provides a short assessment focusing on a specific
ecosystem or issue related to biodiversity in Europe.

Biodiversity – 10 messages for 2010.
Publication Created 08 Jan 2010 Published 09 Mar 2010
Topics: Biodiversity Climate change
Each message provides a short assessment focusing on a
specific ecosystem or issue related to biodiversity in
Europe.

non-governmental organization working for the conservation and
sustainable use of Europe’s nature, biodiversity and landscapes.
Since its establishment in 1993 ECNC has developed a working
partnership with an extensive network of organizations and institutes
from all over Europe.]

10 messages for 2010
To celebrate the International Year of Biodiversity, the European Environment
Agency (EEA) published a series of ‘10 messages for 2010’ covering
biodiversity themes and major ecosystem types in Europe.
Aim
The messages were aimed at experts as well as the broader public and cover the
following themes: Climate change and biodiversity, Protected areas, Freshwater
ecosystems, Marine ecosystems, Forest ecosystems, Urban ecosystems,
Agricultural ecosystems, Mountain ecosystems, Coastal ecosystems, and
Cultural landscapes and biodiversity heritage.
Each message provides a short assessment focusing on a specific ecosystem or
issue related to biodiversity in Europe, presenting an introduction to the current
situation, an analysis of main pressures, resulting trends, and conclusions that
include biodiversity policy instruments at the European level.

KEY MESSAGES
●
In Europe, where the overwhelming
majority of people live in urban areas,
tackling the interlinked challenges
between biodiversity and its network
of towns and cities is crucial to help
halting biodiversity loss.
●
Urbanisation can be an opportunity or
a threat for biodiversity. Seizing the
opportunity demands that we mix high
quality urban green areas with dense
and compact built up zones.
[EEA: 10 Messages for 2010 Urban
Ecosystems]

KEY MESSAGES
●
Quality of life in cities depends on the existence of sufficient attractive
urban green areas for people and wildlife to thrive. But equally
important for urban life are the ecosystem services delivered by
biodiversity in green areas outside city boundaries.
●
Although biodiversity and ecosystem services are global common
goods, local and regional authorities have the legal power to designate
conservation areas and to integrate biodiversity concerns into their
urban and spatial planning. Public commitment is apparent in the
numerous participatory Local Agenda 21 processes aimed at building
sustainable communities that identify biodiversity as a precondition for
resilient cities.
[10 Messages for 2010 Urban Ecosystems]

KEY MESSAGES
●
Besides protecting areas, it is essential to integrate biodiversity into
spatial planning at regional and local levels, including cities.
Developing the European Green Infrastructure concept presents an
opportunity to do this.

A STANDARD URBANISTICI, ALLA
VAS E ALLA VIA?

Why do we need to map and assess ecosystems?
Human well-being depends on natural capital, which provides vital services
including fertile soil, fresh water, pollination, natural flood protection and climate
regulation. However, the ecosystems, habitats and species that provide this natural
capital are being degraded or lost as a result of human activity, and spatially
explicit mapping and assessment is needed to understand to what extent and where
these processes take place.

What is ecosystem mapping and assessment?
An ecosystem is a 'dynamic complex of plant, animal and microorganism
communities and their non-living environment interacting as a functional unit' (UN,
1992). Although ecosystems can be of any size, from a single drop of water to the
entire planet, this report concerns mapping and assessment on national and
European scales, which is based on broad land cover types such as 'woodland and
forest'. An ecosystem at this scale may consist of one or more different habitats,
which are defined by the location and biotic and abiotic features of the environment
in which an organism lives (see Glossary).
[NO NET LOSS: Even when every effort is made to avoid, minimize and restore,
human activities can still have negative impacts on biodiversity. To avoid a net loss
of biodiversity and ecosystem services, damages resulting from human activities
must be balanced by at least equivalent gains. ]

Target 2: Maintain and restore ecosystems and their
services
By 2020, ecosystems and their services are maintained and enhanced by
establishing green infrastructure and restoring at least 15 % of degraded
ecosystems.
Action 5: Improve knowledge of ecosystems and their
services in the EU
Member States, with the assistance of the Commission, will map and assess the
state of ecosystems and their services in their national territory by 2014, assess the
economic value of such services, and promote the integration of these values into
accounting and reporting systems at EU and national level by 2020. Action 5 is
implemented by the MAES (Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their
Services) Working Group.

KEY MESSAGES FOR SPATIAL PLANNING

2011 p.9
• Seeing the forest for the trees. The overriding benefit of spatial planning
is that it can encompass the cumulative impacts of incremental decisions on
ecosystems and their services. It examines the ‘parts’ to make decisions that
affect the ‘whole.’
• Knowledge really is power. An effective planning framework can make
the policy and planning process transparent and inclusive, assessing who
benefits from which ecosystem service, helping to avoid conflicts, especially
if different stakeholder groups are part of the planning process.
• Early thinking enables opportunities and management of changes.
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) can contribute to the integration of biodiversity issues
and ecosystem services in local and regional planning. This safeguards
livelihoods, illuminates impacts on ecosystem services and highlights the
risks and opportunities associated with changes.

• Start locally to think globally. A good strategy considers both local
and global systems and stakeholders. Spatial planning, supported by
EIA and SEA, may form a basis for sustainable, economically and
socially appropriate responses, for example, to climate change.
• Getting more than you bargained for, can be a good thing. The
proactive inclusion of ecosystem services allows environmental
assessment to identify the economic potentials, rather than simply the
constraints, associated with development that supports biodiversity.

UNDERSTANDING THE AGENDAS

Case Study: Mumbai’s Brown Agenda
In contrast to the Green Agenda, the Brown Agenda is important in developing
world cities, especially where they are growing rapidly.
This is the case in Asia and parts of Africa and Latin America Mumbai
(formerly Bombay), in India’s Maharashtra State has a population of 16 million
people (at least 20 million if connected suburbs are taken into account), and
this is expected to grow to 22-25 million by 2010.
Mumbai is a classic expanding megacity, and its citizens have to contend with
the issues of the Brown Agenda on a daily basis. Think of the Brown Agenda
as a list of environmental health problems that need to be solved:

• Up to 60% of Mumbai’s population live in informal, slum housing (called
Zopadpattis). 60% of buildings are non-engineered (built by people
themselves).
• Slums housing covers about 10% of Mumbai’s area, but holds 60% of its
people.
• There is an average of 0.03 acres [121.41 square meters] of open space
per person in Mumbai.

• In August 2005, floods caused $700 million in damage and killed 400
people; most of the city is only metres above sea level.
• Mangroves, which protect the city from floods, are being destroyed by
urbanisation. 40% have been lost in the last 10 years.
• Mumbai generates 2225 million litres of sewage per day, most of which
runs untreated into the sea.
• 97% of Mumbai’s population is exposed to suspended particulate matter air
pollution above WHO guidelines.
• Whilst Mumbai is the 4th largest urban agglomeration in the world, it
ranked 124th out of 130 cities in terms of quality of life in the 2005 EIU
Economist Intelligence Unit survey.

Can we harmonize the agendas?

1.2 Ecosystem services: definitions and examples
1.3 A focus on ecosystem services: helping cities to achieve their goals
2011 contents [p. iii]

TEEB 2011, p.1
“Cities depend on a healthy natural environment that continuously provides a
range of benefits, known as ecosystem services. Some examples of ecosystem
services include drinking water, clean air, healthy food, and protection against
floods.
Healthy ecosystems are the foundation for sustainable cities, influencing and
affecting human well-being and most economic activity.”
[TEEB 2011, p.1]

“The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) is an international
initiative to draw attention to the benefits provided by biodiversity
(encompassing ecosystems, species and genes).
It has compiled and synthesized the available evidence to highlight the values
of biodiversity and ecosystem services, the growing costs of biodiversity loss
and ecosystem degradation, and the benefits of action addressing these
pressures.”
[TEEB 2013, p.11]

Section 2: How to include ecosystem services in decision making
and policy – The TEE B stepwise approach
Step 1: Specify and agree on the problem or policy issue with stakeholders
Step 2: Identify the most relevant ecosystem services that can help to solve the
problem or policy issue
Step 3: Determine what information is needed and select assessment methods
Step 4: Assess (future changes in) ecosystem services
Step 5: Identify and compare management/policy options
Step 6: Assess the impacts of the policy options on the range of stakeholders

Common International Classification of Ecosystem
Services CICES

Proposal for a Common International Classification of Ecosystem Goods
and Services (CICES) for Integrated Environmental and Economic
Accounting
Paper prepared by Centre for Environmental Management, University of
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Haines-Young, R. and Potschin, M. (2013): Common International
Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES): Consultation on Version 4,
August-December 2012. EEA Framework Contract No EEA/IEA/09/003
[Download at www.cices.eu or www.nottingham.ac.uk/cem]
CICES
COMMON INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF ECOSYSTEM

1. The aim of this document is to propose a Common International
Classification for Ecosystem Services (CICES). The need for CICES
arises because despite recent efforts, there is no accepted definition or
classification of ecosystem goods and services and as a result it is difficult
to integrate and compare different data sources.
2. The proposal for CICES has been based on the proposition that any
new classification has to be consistent with accepted typologies of
ecosystem goods and services currently being used in the international
literature, and compatible with the design of Integrated Environmental
and Economic Accounting methods being considered in the revision of
Socio-Economic and Environmental Assessments SEEA 2003.
CICES

3. Ecosystem goods and services are defined here as the contributions
that ecosystems make to human well-being, and arise from the
interaction of biotic and abiotic processes.
Following the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, the term ‘services’ is
generally taken to include both goods and services. While this is a
convenient shorthand, in this proposal we distinguish the material and
energetic outputs from ecosystems as ‘goods’ and the non-material
outputs as ‘services’.
4. The general structure of CICES is shown in Table E.1, and described
in more detail in Table E.2.
5. Three broad thematic categories are suggested as the basis of CICES.
These cover the provisioning, regulating and cultural outputs from
ecosystems. These widely recognised types of ecosystem output are
further subdivided into nine generic classes, which nest into the major
‘functions of natural capital’ identified by the SEEA 2003 (Table E.1).

Warning: Tables E1 / E2

6. The generic naming of the proposed groups allows CICES to be cross
referenced to the existing standard classifications for activities and
products used in the System of National Accounts, namely: the
International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic
Activities (ISIC V4), the Central Products Classification (CPC V2),
and the Classification of Individual Consumption by Purpose
(COICOP). An indicative crosstabulation for each of them is presented.
7. The cross tabulation of CICES groups with international standard
classifications for products and activities assists in identifying the ‘final
outputs’ of ecosystems, and potentially helps overcome the problem of
‘double counting’ in valuation studies. By focusing on ’final products’
arising from ecosystems, the scheme does not cover supporting services,
which are assumed to be embedded within each of the categories included
in CICES.
