ecosystems as providers of recreation to citizens and the function of river networks in providing clean water. The report investigates how ecosystem services can be mainstreamed into agriculture, fisheries or forestry policies. It includes an analysis of policy options and shows that the perception of what services are provided by ecosystems varies according to the respondents, the region and the scales of decision-making. A fourth report summarizes the final results of the PRESS projects for policy makers. The full technical version of the same report is also available at the PEER website.

at national and local levels, as well as within key policy sectors such as energy and transport. It analyses measures and means to enhance climate policy integration and improve policy coherence. The reports show that communication and awareness raising is going to be important to get public support for adaptation measures, and to help stakeholders to adapt. Since adaptation is very different from mitigation, communication should be designed specifically for that purpose, including exchange of experiences on adaptation practices.
