References to economic instruments in selected MEAs—4. Use of economic instruments to implement selected biodiversity-related MEAs—5. Conclusions—6. Bibliography.

Summary: Summary: “Economic instruments are increasingly recognized as having an important role to play in the implementation of many multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs), including those that protect biological diversity. Well-defined property and use rights can promote the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, tradable catch and export permits can encourage the protection of endangered species of fauna and flora, and incentives such as charges and taxes can help to maintain critical habitats, including wetlands. For the purpose of this study economic instruments are defined as “Instruments that affect estimates of costs and benefits of alternative actions open to economic agents…”—(page 11).
