Plural valuation is about eliciting the diverse values of nature articulated by different stakeholders in order to inform decision making and thus achieve more equitable and sustainable outcomes. We explore what approaches align with plural valuation on the ground, as well as how different social-ecological contexts play a role in translating plural valuation into decisions and outcomes. Based on a co-constructed analytical approach relying on empirical information from ten cases from the Global South, we find that plural valuation contributes to equitable and sustainable outcomes if the valuation process: 1) is based on participatory value elicitation approaches; 2) is framed with a clear action-oriented purpose; 3) provides space for marginalized stakeholders to articulate their values in ways that can be included in decisions; 4) is used as a tool to identify and help reconcile different cognitive models about human-nature relations; and 5) fosters open communication and collaboration among stakeholders. We also find that power asymmetries can hinder plural valuation. As interest and support for undertaking plural valuation grows, a deeper understanding is needed regarding how it can be adapted to different purposes, approaches, and social-ecological contexts in order to contribute to social equity and sustainability.

多元化估值是为了激发不同利益相关者表达的自然多样性价值，以便为决策提供信息，从而实现更加公平和可持续的结果。我们将探索与实地复数估值相符的方法，以及不同的社会生态环境如何将复数估值转化为决策和结果。基于共同构建的分析方法，该方法基于来自全球南方的十个案例的经验信息，我们发现，如果估值过程，多元估值有助于公平和可持续的结果：1）基于参与性价值启发方法；2）具有明确的面向行动的目的；3）为边缘化的利益相关者提供空间，使其可以在决策中包含自己的价值观；4）被用作识别和调和关于人与自然关系的不同认知模型的工具；5）促进利益相关者之间的开放式沟通与合作。我们还发现，幂不对称会阻碍复数估值。随着对进行多元估值的兴趣和支持的增长，需要对其如何适应不同的目的，方法和社会生态环境有更深入的了解，以促进社会公平和可持续性。
