Biodiversity underpins some economic activities and a loss of biodiversity (or in broader terms, ecosystems and their related goods and services) affects the functioning of the economic system. However, the exact impact on the economic activity depends on the type of changes in biodiversity experienced as well as the economic activity in question, with sectors such as agriculture or tourism being more affected than, for instance, banking or the automobile industry. To this end we have applied the so-called DPSIR framework. It was developed by RIVM in the Netherlands and DMU in Denmark in the 1990s within the framework of a project carried out on behalf of the EEA (EEA, 1999).
