Book (stand-alone)Payments for Forest Environmental Services in Sub-Saharan Africa - A Practical Guide 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This publication responds to calls in regional and global forestry forums to strengthen capacity for effectively developing and implementing payment schemes for environmental services in sub-Saharan Africa. In particular, the African Forestry and Wildlife Commission, at its 18th session, called for enhancement of the institutional capacities of member countries and the sharing of knowledge on payment schemes for forest environmental services at the national and subregional levels. The publicatio n focuses on forest-based environmental services, such as carbon sequestration, watershed protection and biodiversity conservation. It comes at a time when forests are at the centre of global responses to the challenge of climate change and when payment schemes for forest environmental services are increasingly seen as a valuable means of generating revenues for local economic development from sustainable forest management. It compiles lessons applicable in sub-Saharan Africa generated by initia tives in the subregion and in other regions relevant to sub-Saharan Africa. -

DocumentRelevance of OECD Agri-Environmental Measures for Remuneration of Positive Externalities / Payments for Environmental Services
Stakeholders Consultation From Payment of Environmental Externalities to Remuneration of Positive Externalities in the Agriculture and Food Sector FAO, Rome, 27-28 September 2010
2010Also available in:
No results found.This paper reviews the development of agri-environmental policies in the European Union and other OECD countries, both in historical terms and in terms of the characteristics and challenges of different approaches. The process of reforming the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy, and in particular the likely increased emphasis on payment for public goods (positive externalities and environmental services), is also reviewed. Key issues from the OECD experience are highlighted, including: the problem of indentifying the level of provision of public goods and the resulting focus on payment of prescriptions not outputs; the issue of cost-effectiveness of schemes and the balance between targeted schemes and schemes based on land-use systems; and the need for other policy measures, including research and training, to provide a base and supportive framework on which RPE/PES schemes can be built. The experience with private-sector or market-led solutions is also reviewed. Finally, some key points for the development of schemes elsewhere are identified.
