As part of Brazil’s environmental agenda towards establishing a legal basis for
PES at national level, CIFOR and the Amazon Initiative have been asked by the
Brazilian Ministry of Environment – within the framework of the Monitoring and
Analysis Support project – to conduct an overview study on the feasibility of PES schemes in the Brazilian Amazon. This effort also links closely to the
search for on-the-ground tools to implement REDD, given that Brazil is starting
to receive some international funding for avoided deforestation. more

Bellagio Workshop Report on Payments for Watershed Services
25 participants from both developing and developed countries had
met in March 2007 at the Rockefeller Center in Bellagio (Northern Italy) to
discuss payment schemes for watershed protection. The workshop was organized
jointly by Fundación Natura Bolivia, CIFOR, IIED and EcoFund Ecuador. The
participants included a blend of PES practitioners, analysts, financial sector
and multilateral specialists, as well as NGO, government and grassroot-organization
representatives. In particular, there was ample participation of people based in
Latin America, reflecting the pioneer role this region has played in watershed
PES development: Mexico (3), Costa Rica (2), Bolivia (2), Ecuador (2), and
Brazil (1).
The workshop report, edited by Nigel Asquith, of
Fundación Natura Bolivia (nigelasquith@naturabolivia.org),
and Sven Wunder of CIFOR (s.wunder@cgiar.org).
discusses eight ”hot issues” in the watershed PES debate: the role of legal
frameworks; research needs prior to implementation; 'bundling' of services; how
to stimulate users' willingness to pay; poverty aspects; contract design,
transaction costs, and upscaling. Also, some elements for a decision-support
system of when to use PES and when not were developed.
