445 | Fri, 19/08/2022 | Anonymous | Paper Cites IPBES in Case Study Seeking to Identify Link Between Potential Futures and the Values Underpinning Them in Protected Land Areas in Czechia | English (396) | Drawing on IPBES Methodological Assessment Report's "future thinking", an approach helping people to understand and tackle complex sustainability, this study aims to address the gap between understanding the scope of the root causes of human decisions and actions, and the link between anthropogenic drivers and their potential future impacts on nature in local regions. Through the design and implementation of a local-scale participatory value-based scenario building process, this study explores the relationships between (1) multiple types of values, (2) actions taken by different types of stakeholders, and (3) their potential impacts on nature, nature’s contributions to people (including ecosystem services) and good quality of life. This paper summarizes the results and lessons learnt from an array of value-based participatory scenario-building processes in the context of Protected Land Areas in a Czechia, in Central Europe, and reflects on the utility of value-based participatory scenario planning as a means to strengthen sustainable governance. | New/changed idea | Website | Linking multiple values of nature with future impacts: value-based participatory scenario development for sustainable landscape governance | Linking multiple values of nature with future impacts: value-based participatory scenario development for sustainable landscape governance | https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11625-021-00953-8 | 2021-05-12 | Europe and Central Asia | Czechia | public | Britt | Curley | IPBES | Assistant Programme Management-Communications | Secretariat: Bonn | ||||||||||||||
