Economic valuation of environmental liabilities: transfer of benefits to estimate the loss of ecosystem services and socio-environmental damage in Colombia

The complementary information of the economic valuation of the environmental liabilities of the extraction operations of combustible and non-combustible minerals associated with the Colombian departments of Choco, Cundinamarca, Cesar and Antioquia is presented. The benefit transfer method was implemented, the Ecosystem Services Valuation Database was used for those environmental liabilities that implied negative changes in the provision of ecosystem services; For those environmental liabilities that affected a sociocultural element, the costs associated with these, such as the generation of displacement, loss of human capital, loss of artisanal mining and family farming activities, and the generation of diseases, were estimated based on particular methods described in a detailed manner. individual next to the estimate developed, within this file.

本数据集呈现了与哥伦比亚乔科省、昆迪纳马卡省、塞萨尔省及安蒂奥基亚省相关的可燃与不可燃矿产开采作业所涉环境负债的经济估值补充信息。本次研究采用效益转移法开展估值：针对会导致生态系统服务供给发生负面变化的环境负债，使用生态系统服务估值数据库（Ecosystem Services Valuation Database）完成估值；针对影响社会文化要素的环境负债，则依据本文件中与对应估值结果一并详细阐释的专属评估方法，对其相关成本进行估算，此类成本涵盖流离失所产生的代价、人力资本损失、手工采矿与家庭农业活动受损以及疾病滋生带来的相关成本。
