The importance of biodiversity (BD) and healthy ecosystems and the services they deliver has increasingly been acknowledged. Policy initiatives, such as the EU BD Strategies 2020 and 2030, IPBES, IPCC and CBD were launched to address BD, natural capital and related values. Research has created a knowledge base to better understand nature-human interactions that are at the base of ecosystem services (ES) delivery. The key aim of related actions is to provide robust information that can be harnessed to support protection, restoration and sustainable as well as climate-neutral use of ecosystems in the EU by 2030. MAES has provided the conceptual, methodological and data base for comprehensive assessments on different spatial scales, including the EU-wide assessment (2020) and assessments in EU member states. Knowledge and data for different ecosystem types (including protected and marine areas) are increasingly available. The next step is to integrate the different MAES components (ecosystem mapping, condition, ES, accounting) and to enable the uptake of ES in decision making. Key challenges include the proof of BD-ecosystem condition-ES relationships and to link them to EU policies. The consortium brings together experts from all EU member states, associated countries and EU overseas regions with stakeholders from various public and private sectors. The expertise in the consortium includes leading experts (ecologists, economists, social scientists) on ES science, ecosystem accounting and on science-policy-business interfaces from related actions (OpenNESS, ESMERALDA, MAIA, MAES, ESP, IPBES, BD Partnership). Therefore, the project will successfully address the call's challenges and provide applicable tools and models together with guidance how to use them. The project will deliver real cases for an evidence-, ES-based and harmonised decision making across Europe, enabling transformative change to halt BD decline and to secure essential ES-sustainable supply and use.

生物多样性 (BD) 和健康的生态系统及其提供的服务的重要性日益得到认可。推出了欧盟 2020 年和 2030 年 BD 战略、IPBES、IPCC 和 CBD 等政策举措来解决 BD、自然资本和相关价值问题。研究创建了一个知识库，以更好地理解自然与人类的相互作用，这是生态系统服务（ES）提供的基础。相关行动的主要目标是提供可靠的信息，可用于支持到 2030 年欧盟生态系统的保护、恢复和可持续以及气候中性利用。MAES 为综合评估提供了概念、方法和数据库不同空间尺度的评估，包括欧盟范围内的评估（2020）和欧盟成员国的评估。不同生态系统类型（包括保护区和海洋区域）的知识和数据越来越多。下一步是整合不同的 MAES 组件（生态系统映射、条件、ES、核算），并在决策中采用 ES。主要挑战包括证明 BD-生态系统条件-ES 关系并将其与欧盟政策联系起来。该联盟汇集了来自所有欧盟成员国、联系国和欧盟海外地区的专家以及来自各个公共和私营部门的利益相关者。该联盟的专业知识包括 ES 科学、生态系统核算以及相关行动（OpenNESS、ESMERALDA、MAIA、MAES、ESP、IPBES、BD Partnership）的科学-政策-商业界面方面的领先专家（生态学家、经济学家、社会科学家）。因此，该项目将成功解决呼叫挑战，并提供适用的工具和模型以及如何使用它们的指导。该项目将为整个欧洲的循证、基于 ES 的统一决策提供真实案例，实现变革以阻止 BD 衰退并确保必要的 ES 可持续供应和使用。
