Scenarios of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services 2 (Biodiversity 2)
This Collaborative Research Action (CRA) was a follow up to the first Belmont Forum Scenarios of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services CRA and as a joint call between the Belmont Forum and
BiodivERsA.
It sought proposals that would explicitly address a scenario dimension, taking into account the following definition of scenarios: Scenarios of biodiversity and ecosystem services are the outputs of the combination of scenarios of indirect drivers and direct drivers – such as land use change, invasive alien species, overexploitation, climate change or pollution – and models of impacts of these drivers on biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Proposals were invited to address the two following major (non-exclusive) priorities:
- Development and application of scenarios of biodiversity and ecosystem services across spatial scales of relevance to multiple types of decisions.
- Consideration of multiple dimensions of biodiversity and ecosystem services in biodiversity scenarios.
This CRA was supported by AEI, aka, ANR, BMBF, BMWFW, DFG, DLR, ETAG, FAPESP, Formas, FRQ, FWF, FWO, MINCyT, MINECO, NCN, NSERC, NSF, NWO, RCN, SNSF, TUBITAK, and UEFISCDI.
