Date/time: May 19; 9:00 AM-5:15 PM ET



Location:

AAAS

1200 New York Ave NW

Washington, DC 20005



What it’s all about?

How can policy decision-making at the national and international levels
make better use of our scientific understanding of the services provided to
human societies by nature (ecosystem services)? We aim to spark
conversation around the topic of what constitutes an ecosystem service.
Speakers will discuss the rationale behind ecosystem services valuation and
its recent history, explore the benefits and limitations of the approach,
and showcase examples of tools currently used for identifying and valuing
ecosystem services. We draw on the practical experiences of people working
across sectors: government, NGO, and academia.

This event hosted by the AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships
(STPF) and organized by the Biodiversity Affinity Group with assistance
from the Big Data and Social Science Affinity Groups.
