While this report was generally well received by the scientific and policy community, some have questioned whether it provided an operational and usable evidence-base to inform decisions [1]. The 'UK National Ecosystem Assessment Follow-on: Synthesis of Key Findings' (NEAFO) sought to build on the previous report, but focused more closely on developing an improved evidence-base for decisions about ecosystem services. It was conducted and peer reviewed by more than 150 experts from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, who were split into distinct working groups. In this followon report, new information and tools are provided, extending the scope of the initial assessment, by making advances in several areas; for example, in valuing cultural ecosystem services that are frequently overlooked in decision-making.

The 2011 UK National Ecosystem Assessment (UK NEA) concluded that the natural world and its ecosystems are important to our well-being and economic prosperity. Yet they are consistently undervalued in conventional economic analyses and decision-making. The UK National Ecosystem Assessment Follow-on (UK NEAFO) provides new information and tools to help decision-makers across all sectors understand the wider value of our ecosystems and the services they offer us.
