The DSD launches the publication:
"Legal Institutional Frameworks for Payment for Ecosystem Services: Eight country Analysis"
Washington D.C, June 19, 2009
The Department of Sustainable Development of the OAS launches the
publication “Legal Institutional Frameworks for Payment for Ecosystem Services: Eight Country Analysis”. This book examines trends, lessons
and experiences that have been developed in the region, as well as the
contribution of legal frameworks in facilitating the implementation of Payment
for Ecosystem Services
In addition to the legal analysis, the publication includes an
institutional and economic review, identifying methodologies used to develop
PES transactions. Furthermore, this book presents best practices for PES
implementation and the inputs that currently underpin the legal and
institutional frameworks of this mechanism in eight Member States: Dominican Republic, Bolivia,
Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Peru.
This publication is part of a DSD effort to contribute
trends in alternative, innovative, and market-based approaches to address natural
resource management, environmental protection and biodiversity conservation
among member countries.
Payment for Ecosystem Services
To respond to trade-related capacity building development needs in the area of environmental management, the
DSD is working towards improving market-based approaches to the conservation of
biological diversity, through the support of Payment for Ecological Service
Payments (PES). Innovative financial instruments for conservation including
Payment for Ecological Services (PES) are increasingly used as tools to
implement conservation policies at the national level. Payment for Ecosystem Services Database
