Summary
The paper sets out to achieve three objectives. The first objective is to demonstrate how the poor depend on ecosystems and ecosystem services for achieving some of the very basic constituents of well-being. The second objective is to identify barriers and drivers that prevent the poor from using these ecosystem services to improve their well-being. And the third objective is to identify policy response options to remove the barriers, redesign or even introduce new drivers to allow the poor to improve their well-being through an ecosystem approach.
