Субглобальные оценки и рабочая группа

Все больше становится ясно, что глобальные изменения окружающей среды имеют причины и последствия, проявляющиеся на разных масштабах, от локального до глобального. Таким образом, для принимающих решения лиц важно иметь точные и информативные оценки происходящих изменений, а также реалистичный прогноз на будущее. И все же до недавнего времени международные научные оценки обычно заостряли внимание на глобальных явлениях, чем на процессах, протекающих на региональном уровне, и на взаимодействии процессов разных масштабов. Программа ОЭ провела многомасштабную оценку, состоявшую из взаимосвязанных оценок для разных масштабов: локального, уровня водосбора, национального, регионального и глобального.

Sub-Global Assessments

The MA sub-global assessments were designed to meet needs of decision-makers at the scale at which they are undertaken, strengthen the global findings with on-the-ground reality, and strengthen the local findings with global perspectives, data, and models. There are 18 MA-approved sub-global assessments, and an additional fifteen with an associated status. Assessments at sub-global scales are needed because ecosystems are highly differentiated in space and time, and because sound management requires careful local planning and action. Local assessments alone are insufficient, however, because some processes are global, and because local goods, services, matter, and energy are often transferred across regions. The sub-global assessments will directly meet the needs of decision-makers at the scale at which they are undertaken, strengthen the global findings with on-the-ground reality, and strengthen the local findings with global perspectives, data, and models.

Sub-Global Working Group

The MA Sub-Global Working Group, comprised of all the MA sub-global assessments, produced a sub-global assessment. This report is both a synthesis of the findings of the various sub-global assessments and a resource on the lessons learned through the process on multiscale assessment methodologies, cross-scale interactions, and the incorporation of traditional and local knowledge into a scientific assessment process.
