Abstract:
The present study integrates Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modelling with
biodiversity services, proposing a possible methodology for assessing climate-change impacts on
ecosystems. The assessment focuses on climate change impacts on carbon sequestration services provided
by European forest, cropland and grassland ecosystems and on provisioning services, but provided
by forest and cropland ecosystems only. To do this via a CGE model it is necessary to identify first the
role that these ecosystem services play in marketable transactions; then how climate change can impact
these services; and finally how the economic system reacts to those changes by adjusting demand and
supply across sectors, domestically and internationally
