There is a seamless link between research and assessments. The development of a science agenda should stimulate the science community to conduct additional research to address key issues in linking ecosystem services and human well-being. This is still a new area of research.

This study aims to broaden understanding of climate change and its impacts in Argentina. Most focus on climate change in Argentina has been in the north, where impacts are more
noticeable. But this study shows how changes in the south, in the Patagonian province of Chubut, are also likely to be significant.

The document begins with a short overview on the impacts of degrading eco-systems on human well-being. How current energy consumption is contributing to this degradation is also addressed. The affect of climate change on ecosystem services

Adaptation is necessary for reducing the impacts of climate change on forests and societies. So far, forests, forest

The links between ecosystem approaches to health, natural resource management and poverty reduction are being identified as important and relevant across an increasing number of disciplines and institutions. However, specific implementation guidance is scant.

Mountains are among the most fragile environments on earth but, at the same time, are also rich repositories of biodiversity and ecosystem services, and the sources of much of the water that sustains life on the planet.

This recent study by SANDEE examines the link between stream flow, agricultural water use and economic returns to agriculture. Attempts to simulate the likely impacts of regeneration of a degraded forest catchment on stream flow and the consequent impact on irrigation tankbased agriculture in a downstream village.

This report reviews the current status of payments for watershed services in developing countries. It highlights the main trends in the evolution of these schemes, synthesising the available evidence on their environmental and social impacts, and drawing lessons for the design of future initiatives.
