      abstract = {The methodological assessment of scenarios and models of  biodiversity and ecosystem services carried out under the  auspices of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform  on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) provides  guidance for the use of scenarios and models for experts  performing assessments within IPBES, as well as to  scientists and other stakeholders and decision makers.  Because the assessment focuses on methods, this report is  more technical in nature than the thematic, regional and  global assessments of IPBES. The assessment focuses on a  critical analyses  of the state-of-the-art and best  practices for using scenarios and models in assessments and  policy design and implementation relevant to biodiversity  and ecosystem services. It proposes means for addressing  gaps in data,  knowledge, methods and tools relating to  scenarios and models. It, finally, makes a series of  recommendations for action by IPBES member States,  stakeholders and the scientific community to implement and  encourage those best practices in regard to the use of  scenarios and models, engage in capacity-building and  mobilize indigenous and local knowledge.},
