Millennium
Ecosystem Assessment
1,300 scientific experts from 95 countries, commissioned by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2001, assess the state of ecosystem services (the benefits people obtain from ecosystems) today. They discuss how changes in ecosystem services have affected human wellbeing, how ecosystem changes may affect people in future decades, and response options that might be adopted at local, national, or global scales to improve ecosystem management and thereby contribute to human well-being and poverty alleviation.
