- The MEAs 4 situations
- 1) Global orchestration
- Part of the two development pathway idea
- suggests that the world comes together to tackle biodiversity issues
- a reactive approach to ecosystem problems (responding to problems after they have happened)
- takes strong steps to reduce poverty and inequality and invests in public goods such as infrastructure and education
- a globally connected society that focuses on global trade and economic liberalisation (lessening regulations)
- Biodiversity would be looked at holistically treaty between countries would be put in place to tackle the issues
- Background about the scenarios
- these are potential scenarios that will pan out by 2050
- MEA (the millennium ecosystem analysis)
- they explored 2 major things
- A two development pathway: where the world becomes more globalised and the world becomes more recognised (1&2)
- Two different approaches to ecosystem management:one where the problems only get dressed when they are obvious and one where management is proactive and thinks for the future (3&4)
- 2) Order from strength
- a regionalised and fragmented world (the world is separated into its different areas (not globally connected)
- world concerend with security and protection emphasises regional markets, pays little attention to public goods
- takes a reactive approach ecosystem management
- economic growth rates are lowest in this scenario (particularly in developing countries)and they decrease with time, whilst population growth is at its highest (a world of poverty)
- the richer the country the more chance they will have to help conquer biodiversity issues
- 3) Adapting mosaic
- part of the approaches to management idea
- problems only get managed when they are obvious
- regional watershed-scales ecosystems are the focus of political and economic activity
- local institutions are strengthened and local ecosystem management strategies are common;societies develop a proactive approachto the management of ecosystems (eliminate problems before they appear)
- economic growth rates are low initially (spend money to combat the problems) but increase in time (problems are eliminated so money can stop being spent on them)
- population is high
- 4) Techno - garden
- part of the approaches to management idea where they think for the future
- a globally connected world relying on environmentally sound technology and using highly managed often engineered ecosystems to deliver services
- take a proactive approach to managment of ecosystems (think of the future
- economic growth is relatively high and accelerates while population in average
- 1) Global orchestration
