ATEAM final report Section 5 and 6 (2001-2004) 40 Table 11 Targeted sectors 25 vs. stakeholder organisational types 26 .

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.
ATEAM final report Section 5 and 6 (2001-2004) 41 As presented in Table 12, most targeted and represented organisations have a European to Global focus of activity. We considered groups of countries, which had some geographical unity across Europe, to also address regional and national perspectives. The Mediterranean and Alpine regions are best represented, and Scandinavia less so. Although the ATEAM window covers a large part of central and eastern Europe, the formal focus was on the EU-15 + Norway and Switzerland. Potential stakeholders in central and in eastern Europe were thus not extensively searched and only one organisation was identified and contacted. Finally, large countries like France, Germany and the UK were given special attention. This bias somewhat reflects existing networks within the consortium, which were more easily activated than completely new stakeholder contacts. The full list of ATEAM stakeholders is given in Annex 3. Table 12. Main geographical focus of ATEAM stakeholders’ activity 27 .

We believe that an open and critical mind, and curiosity in all participants are key components for an enriching and challenging dialogue from which not only scientists but also stakeholders can profit. For the purposes of this specific dialogue, ATEAM often contacted organisations and/or individuals, which explicitly showed some interest in environmental issues and/or (sustainable) management of natural resources. When however specific commercial organisations (e.g. IKEA, TETRAPACK) were approached, interlocutors often declined ATEAM’s invitation. This may be both that we failed to show representatives of these firms how we could provide relevant information to their activity, as well as perhaps a restricted interest in global change impacts modelling. This introduces a “green” bias in our stakeholder community. However, we targeted stakeholder organisations that showed a critical competence in (inter)sectoral issues, as well as a substantial understanding of scientific approaches and interests. Some of these above selection criteria can be used in web searches (e.g. by targeting the environmental department of a firm), others can only be applied through personal contact and experience of cooperation (e.g. qualities like a ‘critical and open mind’ and ‘curiosity’). Lastly, known and 27 Global: International organisations (e.g. WWF) Europe/Global: European organisations which have international outreach/interests (e.g. IKEA, European Environmental Agency) Europe: Supranational organisations the activity of which is primarily of European relevance (e.g. CIPRA) Alpine region: including Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, Switzerland Mediterranean region: including Albania, Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Monaco, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Scandinavia region: including Finland, Norway, Sweden France: organisations which have a full French coverage (i.e. regional/local organisations located in the Mediterranean zone are here placed under the Mediterranean region above.
