- Abstract
Following the inclusion of ecosystem services in the new global and national post 2010 biodiversity policies, this report addresses the need to upgrade the knowledge basis of ecosystem services and their social and economic values in order to inform ongoing policy design and decision making processes. In particular, this study addressed the present research capacity to map, assess and report ecosystem services as well as their implications for different community and regional policies.
