24 Consequences of Ecosystem Change for Human Well-being
25 Gains in ecosystem services: Food production By 2050: Food production increases by 70 85% Child malnutrition decreases under 3 of 4 scenarios Child undernourishment in 2050 under MA Scenarios
26 Cost of increased ecosystem services: (iv) Degradation of ecosystem services harms people ½ urban population in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean suffers from one or more diseases associated with inadequate water and sanitation Decline of freshwater fisheries reduce inexpensive source of protein in developing countries. Desertification destroys livelihoods of millions of people, including a large portion of the poor in drylands

31 Capacity building and conceptual reflection with international experts on biodiversity and ecosystem services through international summer schools (2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) in Peyresq, France NEW SCHOOL 2010: 5-15 September Photograph: Peyresq, France, where Green 35 students Week, , discussed Bruxelles vulnerability of ecosystems in September 2003
