  abstract = {{E}cosystem services' ({ES}) assessments can inform sustainability policies but often translate poorly into practical decision-making due to their disconnection from local challenges. {P}roblem framing is a crucial step in improving the operationalization of ecosystem studies. {F}irst, the study analyzes the challenges and opportunities for sustainability in three {E}uropean outermost regions: the {C}anary {I}slands, {F}rench {G}uiana, and {R}eunion {I}sland. {S}econd, it proposes strategies to make use of {ES} assessments as a means to address these sustainability issues. {W}e used a {S}trengths, {W}eaknesses, {O}pportunities, and {T}hreats ({SWOT}) analysis for strategic planning, extended with a {PESTEL} analysis, standing for {P}olitical, {E}conomic, {S}ocio-cultural, {T}echnological, {E}nvironmental, {L}egal, and {R}egulatory. {S}emi-structured interviews (n = 38) were conducted to identify {PESTEL} factors facilitating or impeding sustainability in the case studies. {I}nterviews were coded into {PESTEL} factors before being synthesized and reported into {SWOT} matrices. {W}e suggest seven {ES}s implementation strategies addressing these challenges from these {SWOT} matrices. {F}inally, this paper highlights the potential contributions of {ES}-based strategies to achieving multiple {U}nited {N}ations' 2015 {S}ustainable {D}evelopment {G}oals ({SDG}s). {O}n average, the strategies are expected to affect the delivery of six {ES}s. {T}he suggested strategies are expected to contribute to the achievement of {SDG}s 15 ({L}ife on {L}and), 2 ({Z}ero {H}unger), 14 ({L}ife {B}elow {W}ater), and 11 ({S}ustainable {C}ities and {C}ommunities). {T}hese results pinpoint the key factors to consider, through stakeholder consultation, when designing a practical {ES} study.},
