1 Third International Symposium on the Ocean in a High-CO2 World 26 September 212 Understanding the Economics of Ocean Acidification Luke Brander Institute for Environmental Studies, VU University Amsterdam; Division of Environment, HKUST, Hong Kong
2 Outline Economic view of ocean acidification Framework for economic assessment Economic damage estimates (with e.g. on coral reefs) Distribution and vulnerability Knowledge gaps and next steps Conclusions
3 Economic view of OA Economics is the study of resource allocation and human welfare OA is an external cost of using fossil fuels Polluters do not pay this cost and overuse fossil fuels Economic questions on OA: What are the human welfare impacts of OA (expressed in monetary terms)? Do the benefits of addressing OA (reduced damages) outweigh the costs of mitigation or adaptation? What is the expected distribution of damages to guide investments in adaptation?
4 Framework for assessment Ecosystem Services (ES) approach to link biophysical impacts to human welfare ES are the benefits that humans derive from ecosystems ES impacted by OA: Fisheries Coastal protection Tourism/recreation Biodiversity Carbon storage
5 Impact pathway for OA Marine Ecosystems Ecosystem Services Socio-economic impacts Socio-Economic Activity Population Income CO 2 Emissions Food webs Fish stocks Fish Catch Aquaculture Welfare Distribution Ocean Acidification Vulnerability Food Security Coral Reefs Tourism Coastal protection Adaptation Biodiversity Adapted from Moore (211); Tyrell, Williamson and Turley (211)
6 Valuation of impacts on coral reefs Corals provide multiple ecosystem services: Tourism/recreation Coastal protection Fisheries Biodiversity (existence values) Not traded directly in markets Coral reef values are invisible to decision makers Non-market valuation methods
7 Valuation of impacts on coral reefs CO 2 concentration in atmosphere Ocean acidification and coral loss models Loss of coral reef CO 2 emissions FUND Economy Climate model Population, Income Meta-analytic value function Visitor model (HTM) Tourist numbers Source: Brander et al.

20 Global damage costs Climate Change Ocean Acidification US$ 14 trillion US$ 1.2 trillion % of Gross World Product Coral Reefs Mollusks Annual global damages in 21; US$; 21 price levels; SRES B Very few estimates; Very high uncertainties (1 order of magnitude) Sources: Tol (29); Brander et al. (212); Narita et al. (212)
21 Distribution and vulnerability High localised impacts Vulnerability: Dependence on fish protein and coral reef ecosystem services Adaptive capacity to replace lost ecosystem services Fish protein consumption Tropical coral reefs
22 Knowledge gaps and next steps Knowledge gaps: Links between bio-physical impacts and ecosystem services Few ecosystem services valued (only mollusk fisheries and coral reef recreation) Spatial convergence of impacts and vulnerability Next steps: Spatial analysis to understand the human impacts of Ocean Acidification (SESYNC US Socio-Environmental Synthesis Centre)
23 Conclusions Economic damage estimates are few and highly uncertain OA adds substantially to the costs of CO 2 ( 1%) Implications for CO 2 mitigation policy: Changes the trade offs between GHGs Increases the urgency of CO 2 mitigation
