Project’s contribution to this priority has been the analysis of mountain externalities through a comparative review of existing methods and tools as follows:

• producing a stock-taking of documentation related to mountain positive externalities and an analysis of the lessons learned from a policy and institutional point of view
;
• drawing relevant elements from case studies related to mechanisms implemented to compensate local people for the positive externalities they provide in mountain regions. This was done in order to obtain better insight on ways of valorising positive externalities, to compare mechanisms to do so and to deduce recommendations.

Reports on the valorisation of positive externalities in mountain regions are available in the right-hand bar.
