内容説明
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment is intended as a reference manual for local/regional/national assessments that will carry on the work of the MA into the future. It focuses both on findings of the current subglobal assessment groups, as well as offering a framework, guidance, and lessons learned for future efforts. The idea is that it will help to establish common metrics by which our progress, or regression, can be measured over time.

内容説明
One of the major innovations of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment is that it incorporates a series of local and regional assessments - 33 in all - in a global portrait of the planet's health. It is the first global assessment of the planet's ecosystems to include not only a diversity of ecosystems, but to draw on a wide range of cultural orientations and intellectual traditions, including those of indigenous peoples. The Sub-global Assessments Working Group integrated information from multiple sources and found that biophysical factors such as land-use change, climate change and variability, pollution, and invasive species have a significant effect on human well-being across cultures. For example, in places where there are no other social safety nets, diminished human well-being tends to increase immediate dependence on ecosystem services, which can damage the capacity of those local ecosystems. Multiscale Assessments provides students, researchers, and policymakers with a baseline and framework for ongoing assessments of ecosystem and human well-being on a variety of scales around the world.
