The good news is that we can make a very positive difference in ecosystem services by 2050. The caveat is those policies and practices are not widespread at the present time, and substantial changes in policies and practices would have to be made in order to implement the beneficial ones at the global scale.

These scenarios give us a powerful way of exploring different options and their logical consequences and making appropriate choices to improve ecosystem services.
