Searchable spreadsheet of environmental valuation (monetary) estimates drawn from the environmental economics literature.
In order to increase the practical use of environmental valuation in Government appraisals, this project will produce a suite of unit / marginal values for non-market environmental impacts with accompanying guidance, drawing on the best of recent literature. These “entry-level” values will make it much easier for non-specialist Government economists to make an initial assessment of potential environmental costs and benefits in social cost-benefit analysis, following HM Treasury Green Book principles. Subject to subsequent review and approval, these “look-up” tables of unit values will be incorporated by Defra in Supplementary Green Book Guidance on valuing environmental impacts.
