The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment Follow-up: A Global Strategy for Turning Knowledge into Action
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment Follow-up is a global strategy for turning knowledge into action, and it will be initiated recently on the basis of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. Its vision is to improve human well-being by halting and reversing the decline in ecosystem services;the goal of this strategy is to make ecosystem service considerations become an integral part of public and private sector decision-making at all levels;and its strategic objectives include: 1) Continue to build and improve the knowledge base on the links between biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services and human well-being, and develop tools for mainstreaming ecosystem services into development and economic decision-making. 2) Promote the systematic application of ecosystem service considerations, including improved ecosystem services management for increasing resilience to climate change and strengthening the basis for adaptation in public, civil society and private sector decision-making. 3) Disseminate the findings of the MA and its conceptual framework, tools and methodologies to relevant stakeholders through the development of action based media strategies and educational tools. 4) Explore needs, options and modalities for a possible second global ecosystem assessment, complementing existing assessment processes and contributing to the development of a more coherent international environmental assessment landscape.
