City of Stockholm Inland Waters Valuation

Monetary valuation of benefits in achieving good water quality in Stockholm’s inland waters.

  • Survey design, economic valuation, cost-benefit analysis, policy support.
  • Estimated economic value of SEK 2.5 – 2.8 billion, indicating socio-economic profitability.
  • Positive public response and media attention.

Knowledge of benefits, costs and effects are crucial elements in the process of developing local programmes of measures in order to reach good ecological and chemical status. The project carried out by Anthesis Enveco has therefore been an important part in implementing the action plan for good water status in all waterbodies of the City of Stockholm.
