Ecosystem Services Approach for Decision-Making

The global benchmark sustainability course ‘Ecosystem Services Approach for Decision-Making’ will explore the link between ecosystem services and development goals, and demonstrates how to incorporate an Ecosystem Services Approach into existing decision-making processes.

Students will acquire insight how an Ecosystem Services Approach expands the focus beyond how development affects ecosystems, to how development depends on ecosystems. Rather than focusing on how to protect ecosystems from development, the student will learn how to invest in managing ecosystems for development.
