In this presentation the author focuses on ecosystem service delivery for national development planning. He shares new tools for improved decision-making to assess trade-offs and development choice impacts on ecosystem services. He also highlights new technologies in Earth observation that target relevant ecosystem attributes for monitoring ecosystem service changes, tools for spatial development planning in multifunctional landscapes such as ecological infrastructure mapping for disaster management, ecosystem-based adaptation strategies and relevant policy processes.
