1. NATURAL RESOURCES, AND THE ECOSYSTEMS THAT PROVIDE THEM, UNDERPIN OUR
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY, OUR QUALITY OF LIFE AND OUR SOSIAL COHESION
“THERE ARE NO ECONOMIES WITHOUT ENVIRONMENTS, BUT THERE ARE ENVIRONMENTS
WITHOUT ECONOMIES”
AS TRADITIONAL PEOPLES HAVE LONG UNDERSTOOD, WE MUST ULTIMATELY ANSWER TO
NATURE, FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT NATURE HAS LIMITS AND RULES OF ITS OWN
ALREADY WE SEE CONFLICTS CAUSED BY COMPETITION FOR BIODIVERCITY RESOURCES
AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES (WBGU 2008)

2. IN THE LAST 300 YEARS THE GLOBAL FOREST AERA HAS SHRUNK BY APPROX 40%
FORESTS HAS COMPLETELY DISSAPEARED IN 25 COUNTRIES
ANOTHER 29 COUNTRIES HAVE LOST MORE THAN 90% OF THEIR FOREST COVER
SINCE 1900, THE WORLD HAS LOST ABOUT 50% OF ITS WETLANDS
APPROX 30% OF CORAL REEFS , WITH HIGHER LEVELS OF BIODIVERSITY THAN TROPICAL FOR-
ESTS, HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY DAMAGED THROUGH FISHING, POLLUTION, DISEASE AND CORAL
BLEACHING
IN THE PAST TWO DECADES 35% OF MANGROVES HAVE DISSAPARED
SOME COUNTRIES HAVE LOST UP TO 80% THROUGH CONVERSION FOR AGRICULTURE, OVER
EXPLOITATION AND STORMS
THE HUMAN-CAUSED (ANTRHOPOGENIC) RATE OF SPECIES EXTINCTIONS IS ESTIMATED TO
BE 1000 TIMES MORE RAPID THAN THE “NATURAL” RATE OG EXTINCTION TYPICAL OF EARTHS
LONG-THERM HISTORY

3. HOW DO WE SET THE VALUE OF OUR LAND?
THE TASK I HAD GIVEN MYSELF TURNED OUT MORE COMPLEX THAN I HAD FIRST IMAGENED
THE VARIABLES ARE MANY AND THE POTENTIAL FUTURE ADVANTAGES COMPLEX
PRODUCTION : FOOD,FIBRES,MEDICINE,TIMBER,FUELS
CLEANSING OF SURFACE WATER
CLEANSING OF AIR
CO2 BINDING
CLIMATIC PROTECTION : WIND PROTECTION/FLATTENING OF TEMPERATURE CURVES
COMPOSTING
SOIL PROTECTION
HABITATS/BIODIVERSITY
WHEN ENERGY PRICES RISES, PRICE FOR FOOD AND CLEAN WATER ETC WILL RISE
HOW WILL NATURAL SYSTEMS SUPPORTING THIS BE VALUED?
POTENTIAL ECONOMIC VALUATION IN THE FUTURE
THINKING GREEN STRUCTURES IN CITY PLANNING IS TO INVEST IN FUTURE NATURAL ECONOMICALLY
/ENERGY EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS
50% OF MALMØ IS HARD SURFACES : BUILDINGS WITHOUT GREEN ROOFING, HARD FLOORS
IN MALMØ´S GREEN PLAN THEY WANT TO INCREASE GREEN AREA FROM 33M2 PR INHAB. TO 48M2
FOR THIS THEY HAVE A STRATEGY

4. LOOKING INTO THE GREEN PLAN OF MALMØ
AERAL DISPOTION AND DEVELOPING FOR NATURE-SERVICE TO TAKE PLACE THROUGH
ECOSYSTEMS AND BIOTOPES

5. WETLANDS ZONES
