| Abstract | Human well-being utterly depends on nature. Development, defined broadly to encompass social, economic, and environmental aspects of growth, aims to improve human well-being. This chapter introduces scenario planning as one tool for thinking creatively about possible future outcomes of a decision and discusses how it can be used in conjunction with an Ecosystem Services Approach to strengthen decision making. |
