Visions for nature and nature's contributions to people for the 21st century

This technical report describes the outputs of a visioning workshop with stakeholders and experts on 4-8 September 2017 in Auckland, New Zealand. The workshop was hosted by the IPBES Scenarios and Models Expert Group in order to initiate the development of a set of Multiscale Scenarios for Nature Futures based on positive visions for human relationships with nature. A total of 73 participants from inter-governmental organisations, national government organisations, non-governmental organisations, academia and the private sector, from 31 countries, and with a range of sectoral expertise on biodiversity topics, from urban development to agriculture to fisheries, worked together in a visioning exercise. This report documents the results from this visioning workshop to inform further stakeholder consultation and the development of the associated multiscale scenarios by modelers and experts.
