The Economics of Land Degradation (ELD) initiative seeks to develop a
science basis for policy actions to address land degradation. The purpose of this
chapter is to provide with a conceptual framework and sound and feasible
methodological standards for ELD assessments at global and national levels. Only
if some basic standards are identified and adhered to, comparative assessments can
be conducted between countries and useful aggregation of findings, based on these
case studies, can be achieved. Therefore, using the Total Economic Value
(TEV) framework, the chapter identifies minimum core standards that need to be
adhered to in all country case studies to generate comparable material for international
assessment and ELD policy guidance
