a. Reduced uncertainty / higher accuracy in predictions of possible Amazon dieback b. Link policies, scenarios, land-use change, climate/ecosystem functioning and finally impact on the Amazon ecosystem services in one clear set of story lines c. Develop a comprehensive blueprint for an Early Warning System, focusing maybe less on strict ‘tipping points’ and more on broader issues of degradation

How? • Day 1: present ideas • Day 2: discuss in groups • Day 3: present first drafts • Day 4: parallel work • Day 5: final drafts and further issues
Links or clashes with deliverables? • I see no clashes • Lots of links • There may be some additional work • Please investigate in your groups how deliverables could be extracted from the three ‘main products’ and where not.
