Interdisciplinary modelling for pro-poor policy-making: experience from Bangladesh
Interdisciplinary study to understand the ecosystems of coastal Bangladesh and the people who benefit from them
Abstract
The Ecosystems Services for Poverty Alleviation (ESPA) Deltas project (www.espadeltas.net) undertook an ambitious, interdisciplinary study to understand the ecosystems of coastal Bangladesh and the lives of the millions of people who benefit from them. A key aim was to make the findings available to decision-makers who are seeking to protect and improve the livelihoods and wellbeing of the people who live in this dynamic delta environment. The project’s many findings have been integrated into a sophisticated model, the Delta Dynamic Integrated Emulator Model (∆DIEM).
