Capturing Lessons Learned From National Ecosystem Assessment – Volume 2: Stages Of The Assessment (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 II. Capturing Lessons Learned from Ecosystem Assessments: Stages of the Assessment describes lessons learned by countries relating to specific stages of the national ecosystem assessment process (i.e., from the scoping stage to the approval stage).

A national ecosystem assessment is comprised of four stages: the scoping stage, evaluation stage, approval stage, and use of assessment findings stage. At the time that the research for this report was conducted, Cameroon, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Viet Nam had reached the approval stage of their national ecosystem assessments, and Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, and Grenada were undertaking the evaluation stage of theirs. This volume distils individual and collective lessons learned by these countries at each stage of the assessment process that they have undertaken so far. The recurrence of similar lessons learned by country teams at these different stages highlights their significance to the assessment process as a whole.
