EURECA, the European Ecosystem Assessment, will assess the state of ecosystems in Europe in 2010 and their possible development beyond 2010. EURECA is intended to contribute to the MA follow-up as a sub-global assessment. It will include an assessment of the stocks, flows and value of selected ecosystem goods and services under different policy-relevant scenarios. The Pathfinder module will consist of a comprehensive spatial analysis of ecosystems and a vulnerability assessment to socio-economic and climate change. Spotmeter modules will explore selected issues and areas. The findings will be integrated in a final analysis (the Integrator module), foreseen to be published in 2012.
