Millennium ecosystem assessment reports
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment was commissioned by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2000. The objective of the Assessment was to assess the consequences of ecosystem change for human well-being and the scientific basis for action needed to enhance the conservation and sustainable use of those systems and their contribution to human well-being.This Assessment is one of the most comprehensive efforts of its type to date, involving the work of more than 1,360 experts worldwide. Their findings, contained in five technical volumes and six synthesis reports, provide a state-of-the-art scientific appraisal of the condition and trends in the world's ecosystems and the services they provide (such as clean water, food, forest products, flood control, and natural resources) and the options to restore, conserve or enhance the sustainable use of ecosystems.
