For clearly economic sectors such as agriculture, forestry, tourism, and water we targeted in particular
the private sector (i.e. sectoral representatives, consultants and private businesses). We assumed that
private decision-making and management of ecosystem services is of paramount importance here. In
contrast to this, the preferred stakeholders for biodiversity, carbon storage and mountain environments
were from the public (academic/advisory/management public bodies) or independent sector (NGO,
umbrella organisations). Indeed the associated ecosystem services are often neither directly valued
economically nor traded and relate to national and/or European policy making issues (e.g. climate
protection, ecological directives).
25 Sectors targeted for the stakeholder dialogue do not correspond exactly to the ATEAM sectors per se which are
Agriculture, Forestry, Carbon Storage, Water, Biodiversity and Nature conservation, and Mountains.
26 The following organisational types were involved:
Sectoral consultancy: these can be commercial (e.g. DHI Water & Environment) or non-profit consultancies (e.g.:
Associazione Cultura Turismo Ambiente - ACTA).
Sectoral representative: include farmers’ union, cereal growers, land and forest owners, paper-agro industries, insurances
etc.
Private business: from individual farmers to multinational corporations (e.g. IKEA, TETRAPACK, Gerling Reinsurance).
Public organization whose main focus is to advise policy: these can be statutory or not, directly be involved in
policy/decision-making (e.g. Ministries of Environment, European Commission) or in advisory position (e.g. European
Environmental Agency).
Public organization whose main focus is academic: research institutes who were not directly involved in ATEAM.
Public organization whose main focus is environmental resource management: e.g. forest, water and or natural park
management.
Non governmental organization: from globally known organizations such as WWF, Greenpeace, to nationally important ones,
such as Robinwood (Germany), to the Liga para a Protecção da Natureza (Portugal).
Independent umbrella organisation: these can be non-profit organisation focusing on awareness raising (e.g. Climate
Network Europe, Commission internationale pour la protection des Alpes – CIPRA) to organisation fostering trade (e.g.
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development – OECD, Association of British Travel Agents). See Annex 4 for
the full list.
