ESPA Delta: Project Aims• To understand the present relationship between
ecosystem services and human well-being and health.• To predict how these ecosystem services might evolve over
the coming years and decades (up to 50 -100 years) [Timeframe of the Bangladesh Delta Plan]
• To analyse how policy can influence these outcomes and promote ecosystem services and human well-being and health.
• To select robust policies that are effective across the range of uncertainty.
