Ecosystems

Ecosystems (Thorne Moors, Copyright Natural England/Peter Roworth 1997)
To ensure that decision-making takes full account of impacts on the natural environment and their consequences for ecosystem sustainability, human well-being, and economic prosperity.

The Ecosystem Challenge Steering Group was disbanded in 2012 after successfully developing a strategic framework to help the LWEC Parrtnership to deliver its objectives under this challenge.

The Framework, which can be downloaded below, was developed by the LWEC Ecosystem Challenge Steering Group to establish the agenda for the Ecosystem Challenge over the next five years. It sets out the evidence needs for policy, business and society; the research priorities to address these; how priorities have been identified; and how they will be taken forward by the LWEC partners.

A new time-limited Ecosystems Task Force will take actions to help implement the framework in 2013. You can read more about this work in the Our Work section of the website.

Other documents related to the work of the former Ecosystem Challenge Steering Group are available below.
