Ecosystems and Human Well-Being: A Manual for Assessment Practitioners
Island Press
2010
en
This Manual makes the methods of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) and associated sub-global (local and regional) assessments widely accessible. While the MA is the most comprehensive assessment of ecosystems carried out to date, there are other related assessment processes such as Global Environment Outlook, Global International Waters Assessment, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands, International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development, and World Water Assessment. Lessons learned from these assessments supplement the best practice of ecosystem assessment identified through the MA. The publication of this Manual aims to encourage more assessments at scales which are relevant to policy and decision makers.
