This doctoral dissertation is inspired by the major environmental and socio-economic challenges faced by biologists, climate scientists, economists and policymakers today, and is dedicated to the state-of-the-art literature in the cross-cutting research area where biodiversity economics and climate economics blend. In particular, this work is conducted by (1) developing a holistic, well-accepted approach that explores the mapping of complex links between climate change, biodiversity, ecosystem services and human welfare in numerical terms; (2) further extending the state-of-the-art methodologies so as to monetize the climate change induced impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services and human wellbeing; and, (3) promoting and discussing the incorporation of the valuation results into the support of policy making, including ecosystem-based climate change mitigation policies as well as ecosystem-based welfare re-distributional policies. Finally, this dissertation demonstrates that the implementations of social and environmental policies are not always conflicting, but rather supplementary to each other.

Abstract

This doctoral dissertation is inspired by the major environmental and socio-economic challenges faced by biologists, climate scientists, economists and policymakers today, and is dedicated to the state-of-the-art literature in the cross-cutting research area where biodiversity economics and climate economics blend. In particular, this work is conducted by (1) developing a holistic, well-accepted approach that explores the mapping of complex links between climate change, biodiversity, ecosystem services and human welfare in numerical terms; (2) further extending the state-of-the-art methodologies so as to monetize the climate change induced impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services and human wellbeing; and, (3) promoting and discussing the incorporation of the valuation results into the support of policy making, including ecosystem-based climate change mitigation policies as well as ecosystem-based welfare re-distributional policies. Finally, this dissertation demonstrates that the implementations of social and environmental policies are not always conflicting, but rather supplementary to each other.
