Abstract

Restoration of degraded ecosystems is essential for having a stable climate, reducing weather extremes and disease burden, producing enough food to feed growing populations, and generally keeping the world livable. However, we are currently rapidly degrading ecosystems worldwide, thus destroying the very basis of life. There is a major gap between what investments are needed to restore degraded ecosystems and prevent further degradation and what is actually being invested. In addition, most governments are still learning how to design and implement ecosystem restoration policies that are effective and efficient. Ecosystem restoration should be among our main scientific endeavors. This review fills a critical gap in the existing literature by providing a theory-informed understanding of the findings emerging from this highly policy-relevant strand of resource economics. The article also suggests key areas for future research. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Resource Economics, Volume 15 is October 2023.

生态系统恢复经济学

恢复退化的生态系统对于保持气候稳定、减少极端天气和疾病负担、生产足够的粮食养活不断增长的人口以及总体上保持世界宜居至关重要。然而，我们目前正在全球范围内迅速退化生态系统，从而破坏了生命的基础。恢复退化的生态系统和防止进一步退化所需的投资与实际投资之间存在重大差距。此外，大多数政府仍在学习如何设计和实施有效和高效的生态系统恢复政策。生态系统恢复应成为科学研究的重点。这篇综述填补了现有文献中的一个关键空白，它从理论上了解了资源经济学这一与政策高度相关的领域的研究结果。文章还提出了未来研究的重点领域。《资源经济学年度评论》第15卷的最终在线出版日期预计为2023年10月。修订后的估计数请参阅http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。
