Global Futures: Modelling the global economic impacts of environmental change to support policy-making

World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF)
This study, which calculates the economic cost of nature’s decline across 140 countries, shows that the loss of six ecosystem services under a business-as-usual trajectory leads to losses of US$9.87 trillion in real GDP by 2050. This represents an annual loss of US$479 billion per year. In contrast, under a scenario in which land-use is carefully managed to avoid further loss of areas important for biodiversity and ecosystem services, economic outcomes would be dramatically better, with global GDP rising by $490 billion per year above the business-as-usual calculation.

The Integrated Economic-Environmental Modelling Framework: An illustration with Guatemala’s forest and fuelwood sectors

Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)
This case study, The Integrated Economic-Environmental Modelling Framework: An illustration with Guatemala’s forest and fuelwood sectors , develops and operationalizes the Integrated Economic-Environmental Modelling (IEEM) platform which integrates environmental data organized under the first international standard for environmental-economic accounting with a powerful economy-wide modelling approach, which is calibrated with Guatemala’s environmental-economic accounts and applied to analysis of its forest and fuelwood sector where negative health and environmental impacts arise from inefficient household fuelwood use.

Business Models for the Circular Economy

Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
This report, Business Models for the Circular Economy: Opportunities and challenges for policy, presents a typology of five circular business models that could support the transition to a more resource efficient and circular economy: circular supply, resource recovery, product life extension, sharing, and product service system models. It also reviews the current market penetration and assesses the potential scalability of each business model, and provides a broad set of policy approaches that could help alleviate some of the barriers that currently hinder the widespread adoption of circular business models.
