Application of the Ecosystem Approach in Integrated Environmental Assessments 

This module provides practical and user-friendly guidelines for applying an 'ecosystem approach' as part of an integrated environmental assessment. It can help users systematically consider the services that ecosystems provide in a particular area—including provisioning (e.g., food, timber, and agriculture), regulation (e.g., climate regulation and water quality), support (e.g., pollination or nutrient cycling) and cultural services, as defined in the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment.
