  1. MESEU project (Alterra) 05/03/2013

  2. Global context • Biodiversity strategy 2020 – Target 2 - Action 5 • “Member States, with the assistance of the Commission, will map and assess the state of ecosystems and their services in their national territory by 2014, assess the economic value of such services, and promote the integration of these values into accounting and reporting systems at EU and national level by 2020” • Working group ‘MAES-EU’ (Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems) • 1 (or 2) each member state, JRC, EEA, ... • Belgium • Hans Keune (Biodiversity platform/INBO) • Nicolas Dendoncker (FUNDP) • Analytical Framework MAES version9.6 (Joachim Maes et al.) • Call for tender for MAES supporting contract (June 2012) • Assist MS & Commission on MAES based on existing work • Compare methods (pilot cases) / find commonalities / facilitate linkages between (sub)national and EU scale

  3. MESEU - project • Consortium • Alterra (NL) (coordinator) • ECNC • CEH (UK) • UAM (ES) • EAA (AT) • ETH Zurich Plus (CH) • INBO / Univ. de Namur (BE) • Expert advisorgroup (8) • Start: October 2012

  4. MESEU project • Fourtasks • Task 1: descriptionand peer review evaluation of the methodologies used and results achieved (6 pilot cases) • Task 2: compareecosystem status assessments (most relevant EU Directives) (3 pilot cases) • Task 3: GAP analysis (fromtasks1 & 2) and recommendationstoovercomethosegaps • Task 4: Compilation of the findingsfromtask 1 - 3. Formulatingrecommendations (incl. howtoimplementfrom EU level to MS level and vice versa)

  5. Project structure

  6. MESEU project • Task 1 pilot cases • 2 advanced cases • UK NEA (CEH) • Spanish National Ecosystem Assessment (UAM) • 2 lessadvanced cases • Belgium (Univ. Namur/UA/INBO) • Austria (EAA) • Cases outside EU • Switzerland (ETH-Zurich PLUS) • Balkan countries (coordinatedby ECNC) • Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo • Marine pilot case • Netherlands (Alterra, Imares)

  7. MESEU - project • Task 1 Fact sheets • Policy aspects • Current policy planning • Position / financing of the study • Stakeholder & institutes involved • Organisational structure • Scientific aspects (mapping / assessment) • Classification • Ecosystem services covered • Indicators • Methodology / quantification methods / ... • Technical aspects • Base maps used, biotic & abiotic maps used • Resolution • GIS technology • Data analysis, ...

  8. The belgian case • Task 1 • Fact sheets of the Belgian pilot case(s) (Univ. Namur / UA / INBO) • Walloon ES mapping Burkhard like (Univ. Namur) • Flemish Burkhard like ES mapping (INBO) • Walloon (monetary) forest ES mapping (Univ. Namur) • Flemish ES mapping based on quantitative methods (biotic and abiotic data) (UA) • Peer review of the other pilot case fact sheets (Univ. Namur / INBO) • task 2 • Fact sheet ecosystem status assessments in Flanders (INBO) • Nature report (Natuurverkenning, NARA-BE, NARA-T, Nature indicators) • Habitats Directive & Birds Directive • Reporting for the Water Framework Directive (WFD) • taks 3 & task 4 • Support / review (Univ. Namur / INBO)

  9. MESEU - project • Duration • October 2012 – October 2013 • (Mightberenewed) • Activitiesso far • Inceptionreport (5/12/2012) • Kick-off meeting (Alterra, DG Envonly) (18/12/2012) • Start tasks 1 & 2 • Plannedactivities • Twoday workshop: 19 & 20 of March 2013 (in Brussels) • Interim report: May 2013 • Final report: October 2013

  10. Broad EU survey • TO DEVELOP “STATE OF THE ART” DATABASE & REPORT INCLUDING: • Mapping projects, on-going and planned • Maps of and ecosystem services, benefits and economic value in various degrees of completion (GIS, other) • Classifications, indicators, scales/ resolutions used • Modeling tools • Coverage of Member State • Expertise and capacity available; • Organisation of the Target 2 Action 5

  11. Broad EU survey • Step 1: December – February 2013 • Approach WG MAES Members / MAES Workshop Participants VIA Digital Questionnaire • Approach Experts in Member States as identified VIA Digital Questionnaire for follow-up via e-mail / phone to assess Technical State of the Art • Step 2:June – September 2013 • Consultation of experts about recommendations / guidance document(s) • Consultation of WG MAES Members / MAES Workshop Participants about draft reports
