Symposium: Valuing the Environment for Decision-Makers and Stakeholders: The New Big Picture, From Maryland’s Genuine Progress Indicator to Nation’s Accounts Room 302 Thursday, July 25, 08:00 to 10:00 Organizer(s): Christine Real de Azua, Energy and Environment Consultant Research on the state of biodiversity, ecosystems, and the environment and their role in underpinning a healthy economy is rapidly growing. How can we most effectively translate this wealth of information into indicators, cost-benefit analysis and other costing tools that decision-makers can and will readily use, particularly at programmatic and macroeconomic scales Experts from different disciplines, such as biology and economics, will discuss recent developments in this field. Most importantly, the symposium will identify how to support and improve decision-making and stakeholder outreach through the use of such indicators and tools. The symposium will discuss specific situations in order to identify and illustrate leverage points for recommendations. Decisionmaking situations may include cost-benefit analysis by regulatory agencies of critical habitat designation in the U.S; or forest protection and payment for ecosystem services in Costa Rica. Particular emphasis will be given to Maryland, the host state for ICCB 2013, and to Maryland’s efforts to assess environmental performance and convey to decision-makers and stakeholders the importance of that performance. Maryland is a pioneer in the use of a Genuine Progress Indicator that includes environmental factors and costs such as loss of wetlands and forests, air pollution, and climate change. 08:00 Leveraging national accounting and cost-benefit analysis tools for the environment Christine Real de Azua (moderator), Energy and Environment Consultant 08:15 Are we conveying the big picture to decision-makers Implementing the Convention on Biological Diversity’s Strategic Plan and other commitments Kyle Gracey, Co-Chair SCB Treaties Task Force 08:30 How has Maryland’s GPI been most valuable in decision-making and what are the next steps for Maryland and other states Sean McGuire, Maryland Office Sustainable Future 08:45 Applying ecosystem service valuation tools to environmental policy and decision-making Joe Roman, Gund Institute Ecological Economics 09:00 How are nations using an expanded system of national accounts to foster sound decision-making and investment United Nations Statistical Division (invited) Open discussion period follows from 9:15 to 10:00 Thursday ............................................... Symposium: The Role of Urban Green Spaces in Maintaining Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Room 303 Thursday, July 25, 08:00 to 10:00 Organizer(s): Christopher Lepczyk, University of Hawaii at Manoa; Myla Aronson, Rutgers University; Paige Warren, University of Massachusetts at Amherst; Madhusudan Katti, California State University, Fresno; Charles Nilon, University of Missouri, Columbia Urban areas are typically considered novel ecosystems, filled with non-native species and having few positive attributes. However, urban ecosystems are not homogenous entities in that they contain a variety of habitat types, many of which have value to conservation. One habitat type of particular relevance for conservation is green space. Urban green spaces vary markedly in terms of meaning, ranging from remnant habitat to managed parks to gardens. However, the unifying aspect of such green spaces is that they can offer critical habitat to many species of plants and animals, provide locations for people to experience nature, and provide a number of important ecosystem services. Hence, the theme of this symposium is to bring together a group of prominent scientists and practicioners to address the role urban green spaces play in maintaining biodiversity, providing ecosystem services, and enhance human well-being. Because green spaces are used and experienced by so many different people and species, understanding them requires both social and ecological components as well as the stakeholders involved in them. 08:00 Contributions of green roofs to urban biodiversity J.
