Zusammenfassung englisch
The background paper presents an overview of key contents of the Methodological Convention 2.0 for Estimates of Environmental Costs and its annexes. The Methodological Convention 2.0 of the Federal Environment Agency summarises current scientific knowledge in this field, presents recommendations for best-practice cost rates and makes transparent the underlying assumptions and normative judgments. It thus provides a sound basis for estimations of environmental costs and facilitates their practical utilization.
