Managing natural capital and ecosystem services --improving resource efficiency and ensure resilience
GREENECONOMY
Ecosystem(natural capital)
goal: ensureecosystem resilience
Economy(produced capital)
goal: improveresource efficiency
Human well-being(social and human capital)
goal: enhance social equity and fair burden-sharing
Where natural capital is limited, trade-offs betweendifferent ecosystem services and resource uses occur

Ecosystems
Capitals
Natural capital(i.e. air, water, land, seas, biodiversity)
Produced capital(i.e. along resources life‐cycle)
Social and human capital
ServicesResource needs for consumption(e.g. provisioning services)
Access and exposure to environment(e.g. regulating and cultural services)
Links between resource uses(e.g. water needed for food production)
Challenges>TINA• Human-being will always needs FOOD, WATER, ENERGY and MATERIALS; we are 7 billion
consumers
• Loss of global biodiversity is at rates up to 1000 times higher than the historical background
rate
• 13 million hectares of the world’s forests are cut down annually (Greece size)
• Necessity to improve ecological resilience
• Traditional GDP does not include the social and human price we pay for side effects of our
economic output e.g. dammage to the environment
• Need for redesigning our economic models such that we can generate growth and improve the
quality of life, while also protecting the interesys of future gnerations (GHB)
• The solution has been termed „the green economy” and there is no alternative

Progress towards improving energy/resourceefficiency
Environmental issue EEA 38 - trend?
EU 27 target / objective- which?
EU 27 - on track?
Transboundary air pollution (NOX, NMVOC, SO2, NH3, PM, 2,5 )
To limit emissions of acidifying and eutrophying pollutants and ozoneprecursors
Greenhouse gas emissions To reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 % by 2020, including BC
Urban air pollution To limit emissions of PM, 2,5 , BC and ozone precursors
Maritime transport emissions To reduce NOX and greenhouse gas emissions
Decoupling and recycling(decouple resource use from economic growth)
To decouple resource use from economic growth; to move towards a recycling society
Polish – Norwegian Cooperation
•Cooperation project under EEA and Norway Financial Mechanisms 2004-09: Improving the efficiency of Polish Environmental Inspection based on Norwegian experiences (GIOŚ and Klif)> succesfully completed and undercountry-wide implementation
•As a follow-up a new risk based and more effective inspection system in Poland for control and enforcement of environmental legislation>since 2004 3 times more tasks
•Partners have mutually benefited from each other and reinforced the ecological vector of bilateral cooperation
•New challenge under EEA Grants „Improving environmental monitoring and inspection:
1)strengthening air quality assessment system based on Norwegian experienceand 2)strengthening of technical capacities of inspection through procurement of measurement, lab and IT equipement for a total of 10 million euro.
Thank you for your attention!Takk for oppmerksomheten!
