Summary: | Drought can have important ecological and social impacts that are not always well integrated into planning. Integrating social and ecological impacts of drought into planning requires interdisciplinary frameworks, and this can be challenging despite the existence of guidance from agencies and organizations. One interdisciplinary framework that can be useful is ecosystem services, or the benefits that humans derive from nature, such as the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services. Combined with drought planning theory and practice, they offer a potentially useful means of accomplishing this integration. In this chapter we examine the background of planning for drought in an ecological context and use two place-based applications that offer the potential for integrating ecosystem services into drought planning. We integrate lessons and experiences from the applications into a widely used drought planning framework. |
