Key Messages:
1. Ecosystem functions and the services they provide to people can support climate adaptation efforts.
2. A systems perspective that includes ecosystem services could contribute to the CASC research agenda in three interrelated ways: they can directly benefit current CASC stakeholder goals, they can provide co-benefits to CASC stakeholders, and they allow for full-benefit accounting of the impacts of choices made by natural resource managers.
3. Some existing CASC research aligns well with an ecosystem services framing and could be enhanced by understanding how the components fit into a broader multi-objective context. Notable bright spots for research in these dimensions concern coastal resilience planning and water resources management.
4. CASCs can play an important role in assessing how climate change may alter the amount and spatial dependencies of ecosystem services supply, demand and the value they provide stakeholders within each region
