Millennium Ecosystem Assessment

The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) is a comprehensive study that evaluates the world's ecosystems and their services, such as food production, clean water, and climate regulation. Launched in 2001, it aimed to understand how human activities affect these ecosystems and, in turn, our well-being. It highlights the importance of maintaining healthy ecosystems for sustainability and informs policymakers about the need for better environmental practices. The MEA emphasizes that human health and prosperity depend on the health of the planet, urging global cooperation to protect natural resources for future generations.
