The day was topped off with a meal in the formerly industrial district, now turned into a vibrant social quarter of Sheffield, Kelham Island. This was a great opportunity for ESRs to debrief from the busy day and unwind.
Day 2 was focused on developing the case studies that ESRs initially outlined in the previous ATCs in Copenhagen (ATC4) and Brno (ATC3). The aim was to map how changes in service-providing units (SPUs) could result in changes in the delivery of ecosystem services in a recreational fishery and for the delivery of sustainable crop production in a potato/rapeseed rotation. The ultimate goal of the case studies is to create a guidance document to provide a holistic perspective of chemical risk assessment for regulators and/or decision-makers.
A fruitful few days in Sheffield. Very much looking forward to ATC 5 in the New Year!
