Capturing Lessons Learned From National Ecosystem Assessment – Volume 1: Common Elements (EN, FR, ES) - NEA InitiativeNEA Initiative

Capturing Lessons Learned from National Ecosystem Assessments is an analysis of the experiences reported by eight countries while undertaking the assessment process. Volume I. Capturing Lessons Learned from Ecosystem Assessments: Common Elements focuses on lessons that have thematic relevance throughout the whole of the assessment process.

From the lessons that countries shared during the research done for this report, a number of thematic topics emerged that have relevance at all stages of the assessment process. Lessons learned around these topics—which we refer to as “common elements”—are presented in this volume, distinguishing them from lessons that are largely relevant to specific stages of the assessment (these are presented in Volume II). The common elements we describe include governance of the assessment team, stakeholder engagement, capacity-building, and communications. The recurrence of lessons learned by country teams around these common elements highlighted their significance to the assessment process as a whole.
