Key Synergies
MEA #1 MEA #2
States of the EnvironmentList the state(s) of the environment that the MEA is addressing, along with specific targets cited
PressuresList the direct pressures on the state(s) of the environment identified above. For each pressure list specific targets cited in the MEA and identify line departments having an influence.
DriversList the high-level drivers of change influencing the direct pressures identified above, along with any specific targets cited
ImpactsArticulate the primary impacts associated with changes in the environmental state(s). Use the ecosystem services and human wellbeing categories to assist with this analysis. For each wellbeing impact identify line departments who’s priorities may be affected by the impact.
MEA Synergies Worksheet - EXAMPLE
States, Pressures and Drivers
MEA Goals and Targets Corresponding to Environmental States, Pressures and Drivers Key Synergies
MEA #1United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change
MEA #2United NationsConvention on
Combating Desertification
States of the EnvironmentList the state(s) of the environment that the MEA is addressing, along with specific targets cited
Atmosphere• Climate Change
Soil• Desertification
• Climate change intensifies drought intensifying desertification
PressuresList the direct pressures on the state(s) of the environment identified above. For each pressure list specific targets cited in the MEA and identify line departments having an influence.
• Rising CO2 from energy use• CO2 emissions from land-use changes
• Land-use intensification• Water shortages
• Application of fertilizers• Land use changes increase atmospheric CO2
MEA Synergies Worksheet - EXAMPLEDriversList the high-level drivers of change influencing the direct pressures identified above, along with any specific targets cited
• Global resource consumption• Population growth• Rising affluence• International trade
• Global resource consumption• Population growth• Rising affluence• International trade
1. Rising food demand
2. land use intensifies
3. increase CO2
ImpactsArticulate the primary impacts associated with changes in the environmental state(s). Use the ecosystem services and human wellbeing categories to assist with this analysis. For each wellbeing impact identify line departments who’s priorities may be affected by the impact.
• Water shortages (impacts on agricultural production, reduced food security)• Soil degradation (reduction in crop cultivation, human health and nutrition)
• Soil degradation (decreased food security, poverty intensifies)
1. Climate change = desertification. 2. Combating desertification may reduce vulnerabilities to climate change impacts on food production.
Breakout Group Exercise #2 [60 min]
• Step #1: Identify Environmental States • Using the flipchart provided, list the state(s) of the environment
that your table’s focal MEA is addressing, along with specific targets cited
• Step #2: Identify Direct Pressures• Using the flipchart provided, list the direct pressures on the
state(s) of the environment identified above, along with specific targets cited
• Step #3: Identify High-level Drivers• Using the flipchart provided, list the high-level drivers of change
influencing the direct pressures identified above, along with any specific targets cited
• Step #3: Articulate Impacts• Articulate the primary impacts associated with changes in the
environmental state(s). Use the ecosystem services categories to assist with this analysis.
