2.1.1.3 Contributions to the first report of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA)
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) is an international work program designed to meet the
needs of decision makers and the public for scientific information concerning the consequences of
ecosystem change for human well-being and options for responding to those changes. The MA is
governed by a Board comprised of representatives of international conventions, UN agencies, scientific
organizations and leaders from the private sector, civil society, and indigenous organizations. A 13-
member Assessment Panel of leading social and natural scientists oversees the technical work of the
assessment supported by a secretariat with offices in Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa and
coordinated by the United Nations Environment Programme. More than 500 authors are involved in four
expert working groups preparing the global assessment and hundreds more are undertaking more than
a dozen sub-global assessments. The technical assessment reports produced by each of the MA
working groups have entered the peer review stage and will be published in early 2005. A number of
ATEAMers contribute to the MA and to its reports. The MA is preparing three reports, namely “The
Conditions and Trends Assessment (CTA)”, “The Scenarios Assessment (SA)” and the “Responses
Assessment (RA)”:
• Rik Leemans is Working Group Co-Chair of "The Responses Assessment (RA)”, coordinating
lead author of chapter 0 A Prologue to Responses for Ecosystems and Human Well-being in
RA, and contributing author to Responses to Climate Change in RA
• Wolfgang Cramer is Lead Author of Chapter 3 Analytical Approaches for assessing Ecosystem
Condition and Human Well-Being in “The Conditions and Trends Assessment (CTA)”, and of
Chapter 9 Changes in Ecosystem Services and their Drivers across the Scenarios in "The
Scenarios Assessment (SA)”.
