3. Sustainability
• What do mean by, and how do we measures
sustainability?
– We know enough for no-regret actions
• Ecosystem services approach
– Young science, moving fast beyond MEA
– Limitations (conceptual and practical)
• Biodiversity
– Clarity and priority
– Ecosystem service substitutability
4. Land
• Restoration versus conversion
• Is no new conversion a “no regret policy”?
– GHG, climate regulation, biodiversity, [wild food]
– Equity and politics
