for EU member states

‘Flexible methodology’

for pan-European, national and regional ES mapping and

assessment

Test this methodology

in case studies across European regions and themes

Mobilise relevant actors

from science, policy, practice and society involved in ES

Enable actors in EU member states

to fulfil their tasks of EU BD Strategy’s Target 2 Action 5 /

All tasks and related actions are closely interlinked and build upon each other!

ESMERALDA “flexible methodology”

ESMERALDA Task 1.5: Integrating project results into a flexible mapping and assessment methodology

ESMERALDA aims to deliver a ‘flexible methodology’ that can simultaneously provide innovative building blocks for pan-European, national and regional ES mapping and assessment to ensure the timely delivery by all EU member states of Action 5

Based on related ongoing activities (Europe and worldwide), methods for ES mapping and assessment will be reviewed and enhanced

EU-based guidance is needed to harness available approaches Methods flexible enough to be applied in all EU member states (including outermost

regions, marine areas and specific biomes)

How do we achieve this?

The multi-tiered approach considers different methods (biophysical, social, and economic) at different levels of detail and complexity and can be applied according to specific needs, data and resources availability

ESMERALDA “flexible methodology”

ESMERALDA “flexible methodology” will consist of many components

Key parts could for example be based on ESMERALDA outcomes (e.g. D2.1, 2.2)

Selected gaps identified by ESMERALDA: Lacking engagement of national authorities in the MAES process

Unsatisfying stakeholder involvement in the MAES process

Gaps in capacity and resources to carry out MAES in the country

Unsatisfying stakeholder involvement in the MAES process

Gaps in capacity and resources to carry out MAES in the country

Selected recommendations: Justification (e.g. by good case examples)

Communication (e.g. translation of complex scientific findings for target groups)

Capacity building (e.g. education of transdisciplinary experts)

Technical support (e.g. data use; guidance for mapping & assessment methods)

Join forces – meet and map – network!

ESMERALDA “flexible methodology”

The methodology helps to find solutions for people who, for example, want to map ES A in ecosystem type B on scale C using a method on tier D

The guidance documents will deliver detailed descriptions of the methods, their application and further background information for ES mapping and assessment

The combination of the components makes existing know-how available to a broad range of people and can be used for mapping and assessing ecosystems and their services

ESMERALDA “flexible methodology”

Discussion of ideas, possibilities and limitations

What would be the demands of potential users for such a tool and the guidance documents?

Where can such a tool add value compared to existing tools?

Which design (technical and visually) is suitable regarding for example complexity, query options/entry points to the data base?

How can the tool (and the data base behind it) be maintained (e.g. options for updating, input/output interfaces)? ESMERALDA ICP? ESP? BISE? OPPLA? One Ecosystem?

Possibilities to integrate information from ESMERALDA (e.g. from methods cards, case study fact sheets) and other projects (OpenNESS, OPERAs, OPPLA, … )
