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