Integrated modelling for ecosystem extent mapping and ecosystem services
13 June 2024
09:00 - 12:00
Bilbao, Spain - Sala 5A Location
About
The session will aim to present various initiatives on developing ecosystem extent maps and models for ecosystem services and discuss how these initiatives and tools can be used to support the compilation of SEEA ecosystem accounts and facilitate the reporting under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), through focusing on indicators A.2 “Extent of natural ecosystems” and B.1 “Services provided by ecosystems.” This session will also discuss the importance of interoperability for these initiatives in order to leverage on them, maximize their benefits and develop accounts-ready data to support compilation of SEEA accounts and reporting under the GBF indicators. The session will be organized in three parts: the first one focusing on ecosystem maps, the second one on ecosystem services modelling, and the third one on the interoperability of data, maps and models.
