The synergies and trade-offs between human well-being, biodiversity, and
ecosystem services are under debate for the design of more sustainable public policies.
In that perspective, there is a need of quantitative methods to compare all these
outcomes under alternative policy scenarios. The present paper provides scenarios at
the horizon 2053 for the New-Aquitaine region in France. They rely on spatio-temporal
models derived from individual land-use choices under climate change. The models are
estimated at the national level from 1993-2003 fine-scale data. We focus on farming,
forestry, and urban land-uses along with bird biodiversity scores and a basket of
ecosystem services namely carbon sink intensity, forest recreation, and water pollution.
A ‘climate-economic adaptation’ scenario shows that climate-induced land-use worsens
the negative effects of climate change on biodiversity and several ecosystem services in
the long run as compared to a ‘status quo’ scenario. Another scenario with an incentive
policy, based on a flat payment for pastures, slightly mitigates these negative impacts
on biodiversity and water pollution. However, this turns out to be detrimental for
other ecosystem services. This result confirms that the design of sustainable policies
can not be limited to uniform strategies and should account for the complexity of
ecosystem management.< Réduire
