Identifying representative case studies for ecosystem services mapping and assessment across Europe

• A key task in the ESMERALDA project dealt with identifying appropriate case studies to test the ’flexible methodology’ in its different stages of development. Case studies consist of working examples in which mapping and assessment of ecosystem services were applied to address specific decision-making problems. Testing is understood as an iterative process of co-learning that involves project partners and stakeholders, enabling the refinement of the ’flexible methodology’ and the development of guidelines to support its application. Testing is conducted through a series of workshops in different European contexts, each addressing a different set of themes and regions.
