Abstract

The problem of the formation of unauthorized municipal solid waste landfills is very urgent in the world. Municipal solid waste landfills affect the state of ecosystem assets of territorial communities and, accordingly, the flow of ecosystem services. The economic assessment of qualitative and quantitative changes of ecosystem services as a result of the negative impact of unauthorized landfills is a basic element of an effective policy in the field of municipal solid waste management. One of the ecosystem services, the assessment of which is given a lot of attention in the scientific literature is the climate regulation ecosystem service. The aim of the research is the economic assessment of changes in climate regulation ecosystem service from the negative impact of unauthorized municipal solid waste landfills. In the scientific literature, the economic assessment of climate regulation ecosystem service is considered as a function of the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the air by an ecosystem and the cost of carbon dioxide. It is proposed to calculate the economic assessment of changes in climate regulation ecosystem service from the negative impact of unauthorized municipal solid waste landfills as a function of: amount of carbon dioxide removed from the air by an ecosystem; the cost of carbon dioxide; landfill area; the coefficient of changes in the structure of the ecosystem within the landfill (destruction of vegetation cover); the area of impact of the landfill (outside the landfill) on the ecosystem; coefficient of change in the area of impact of the landfill. Changes in the climate regulation ecosystem service from the negative impact of an unauthorized municipal solid waste landfills on territories of the Korostyshevskaya, Ivankivska and Tarashchanska territorial communities have calculated. The main problem of assessing changes in climate regulation ecosystem service from the negative impact of unauthorized municipal solid waste landfills are identified – obtaining reliable information about the actual volumes of destroyed phytomass from the negative impact of unauthorized municipal solid waste landfills within the landfill and the zone of its influence.
