Quite good overview of CBA, economic valuation techniques, and other methods of assessing costs, benefits, and impact in relation to environmental goods and ecosystem services.
It was a useful source for certain definitions and explanations for our own publication on the methodology of determining economic values of ecosystem services as part of the Codru Quest project (http://megaimpact.md/the-codru-quest).
