Land restoration will happen under climate change and navigating uncertainty and planning for adaptation requires new knowledge systems.

Power asymmetries influence stakeholders’ roles in relation to ecosystem services, including their participation in ecosystem services governance. Insights into roles, power and inequities can be useful for designing participatory governance mechanisms.

Ecosystems provide people with services that enable adaptation to climate change, which we refer to here as 'adaptation services'. But adaptation services do not flow automatically: some input from people is needed.

Bonnesoeur, V., Locatelli, B., et al. 2019 Forest Ecology and Management, 433 Several Andean countries have planned to restore forest cover in degraded land to enhance the provision of multiple ecosystem services in response to international commitments such as the Bonn Challenge. Hydrological services, e.g. water supply, hydrological regulation and erosion mitigation, are particularly important to sustain the life of more than fifty million Andean people. While rapid and important forest cover changes have occurred during recent decades, critical information on the impact of forestation on hydrological services has not yet been synthesized in the context of Andean ecosystems. To help [...]
This brief summarises the findings of a systematic review on the impacts of forestation on water and soils in the Andes (detailed in Bonnesoeur et al., 2018).
