The Katoomba Group’s Ecosystem Marketplace, the preminent on-line source of news, data, and analytics on markets and payments for ecosystem services is publishing a series of articles related to the Katoomba conference in Hanoi next week.

The latest article, titled “Can Marine Markets & Ocean Zoning Help Save the Seas?” is summarised below and available here.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill reminds us once again that the economy depends on ecology and one man’s cheap solution is often another’s cost.  This was a central theme of the Marine Ecosystem Services meeting in Palo Alto, and will be again at next week’s Katoomba Meeting in Hanoi.  Here we examine two powerful tools to help preserve the oceans by recognizing their true value.

After his BSc. (in agronomy) and MSc. (in agricultural history) studies at Beijing Agricultural University, Mr. Jin Leshan got his PhD. Degree in environmental economics  at College of Economics and Management, China Agricultural University (CAU) in 1997. He did his post-doctoral studies at Economics Department, Bar Ilan University, Israel, in 2000-2001, doing research on water management and wastewater irrigation. Since 1990 he has been teaching a series of courses, including “environmental economics” for under-graduate students, “environmental management” for graduate students,  and “environmental policy instruments” for international students. He has broad research interests in the fields of natural resources management, environmental economics, and water use in agriculture and has published paper in international journals (e.g. Water Policy published by Elsevier). He is professor with College of Humanities and Development, China Agricultural University, and also works as researcher and consultant for many development projects.

In this Skype Interview Michael Jenkins, founder and CEO of Forest Trends, explains why he feels water is the BIG issue for the region.

It’s just a few days to go until Katoomba in Hanoi kicks off.  Make sure you check on in the website regularly for video feeds from the event.  In particular, if water is an area that interests you, then keep an eye out for the Payments for Watershed Ecosystem Services session in the morning of the 24th and the Coastal and Marine Markets session later the same day.

Suggested resources for the session include:

REDD lessons learned: What is needed to make REDD+ work on the ground? Lessons learned from pilot forest carbon initiatives

and a pdf titled the “REDD casebook, lessons from on-the-ground” (watch out: this is a 7 megabyte file!).
