With global science-policy conventions for biodiversity and ecosystem services in place, much effort goes into monitoring and reporting on the progress toward policy targets. As conservation actions happen locally, can such global monitoring and reporting efforts effectively guide conservation actions at subnational level? In this paper we explore three different perspectives: policy reporting for policy implementation; scientific knowledge for empowerment and actions; and from past trends to influencing the future. Using these three perspectives, we identify ways forward for both decision makers and scientists on how to engage, inform and empower a larger diversity of actors who make decisions on the future of biodiversity and ecosystem services at multiple scales.

随着有关生物多样性和生态系统服务的全球科学政策公约的到位，监测和报告实现政策目标的进度需要付出大量的努力。随着保护行动在本地发生，这种全球监测和报告工作能否有效地指导国家以下各级的保护行动？在本文中，我们探讨了三种不同的观点：用于政策实施的政策报告；赋予权力和采取行动的科学知识；从过去的趋势到影响未来。从这三个角度出发，我们为决策者和科学家们确定了如何与更多的参与者互动，提供信息并赋权于他们的力量，并为他们做出了多方面的决定，从而为生物多样性和生态系统服务的未来做出决策。
