European Union FP7 Research Project

Economic instruments for biodiversity conservation

Assessing the role of economic instruments in policy mixes for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services provision.

2010–2014 EU Seventh Framework Programme Coordinated by NINA

About POLICYMIX

POLICYMIX investigated how economic instruments can be combined with other conservation policies to protect biodiversity and maintain ecosystem services.

The project examined policy instruments and their effectiveness through interdisciplinary research and case studies in Europe and Latin America.

The project was coordinated by the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) and funded by the European Union.
