Scoping Ecosystem Services for Impact Assessment (WRI)
Scoping ecosystem services for impact assessment (WRI) is a manual for identifying ecosystem services that have an impact on or could be impacted by project implementation – it is a stepwise approach developed by the World Resource Institute.
Aim of the resource
This manual allows the identification the key ecosystem services that (i) could be impacted by, or (ii) could constrain the successful implementation of the project. The complete manual covers six steps for integrating ecosystem services into corporate social and environmental impact analyses. Here we focus on the steps 1 and 2 for scoping ecosystem services - "Identifying relevant ecosystem services", and "Specifying how these key services can be analyzed further".
