Table 17 Identified transition stages and related policies

Transition stage number

• The sequence of the transition stage is based on total scores of ecosystem trends identified from Table 3.6 (Evaluation of ecosystem potential change). The higher the total score is, the earlier the transition stage is

• The ecosystem trends that have the same total score are allocated at the same transition stage

• The sequence of the sub-transition stages is based on the individual CSTEP score. The result might be different due to different stakeholders’ focuses. However, recommended priority among the CSTEP dimension is: T, E, S, P, C

Allocate the relevant policies identified at Step 2 for each (sub)transition stage
