Millennium Ecosystem Assessment
Called for by United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2000 in his report
to the UN General Assembly, We the Peoples: The Role of the United Nations in
the 21st Century. Kofi Annan, ex UN Secretary GeneralThe goal was to assess the
consequences of ecosystem change for human well-being

Ecosystem Services
“Environment” : a place for the production of ecosystem services.The flow of these services is dependent on the health of the ecosystems that produce them.
"Human activity is putting such strain on the natural functions of Earth that the ability of the planet's ecosystems to sustain future generations can no longer be taken for granted.”
“The challenge of reversing the degradation of ecosystems while meeting increasing demands for their services can be partially met but these involve significant changes in policies, institutions and practices that are not currently under way.”

Ecosystems = ecological infrastructure requiring investment and maintenance
Ecological infrastructures often produce services at a lower cost than engineering infrastructures
