From PES to IES: Part I
In 2013, scholars, policy makers and practitioners collaborated with the IES project to prepare 28 case study fact sheets on innovative incentives for ecosystem services initiatives around the world. These different examples were then presented and discussed during a Multi-stakeholder Dialogue to highlight the challenges and opportunities linked to the development and sustainable viability of such initiatives.
The case studies presented below do not illustrate the full integrated criteria for an IES package, but include at least one element from the incentives spectrum to reward or compensate farmers to implement improved agriculture, land, forest or watershed management practices.
The cases and Multi-stakeholder Dialogue discussions helped to define the focus of the project beyond 2014 and contributed to the design of the toolkit for practitioners and policy makers.
