  1. Introducing & Producing IPES David Huberman IUCN – Economics & Environment International Payments for Ecosystem Services Publication Review Meeting Geneva, January 28-29, 2008

  2. IPES Background Introducing IPES Producing IPES The way forward – your feedback! Outline

  3. The IPES Evolution • 2006 technical workshop – how to develop IPES? • An outline for IPES – how to frame IPES? • An IPES publication – how to define IPES?

  4. Making the case for PES Needs a clear definition of the PES scope and reach: « A voluntary transaction whereby a well-defined ecosystem service, or a land-use likely to secure that service, is being ‘bought’ by at least one buyer from at least one provider – if, and only if, the provider secures the provision of the service ». (Wunder, 2005) An Introduction to IPES

  5. Loose vs. Narrow definition? Beneficiary-pays vs. Polluter-pays PES as direct or indirect transactions? Paying for stewardship? Paying for a ‘commodity’? How is PES different from a subsidy? Defining PES

  6. Defining PES contd. • Where does biodiversity fit in? • Integrating different values of biodiversity (existence, productivity, insurance) • Integrating the ‘resilience’ concept • Where does ‘natural capital’ fit in? • Stock vs. Flow models

  7. What is meant by « scaling-up PES to the international level »? Greater volume of payments for services that are produced far removed from where they are bought? The REDD potential Applying the PES model at the international level? A multi-scale approach to PES Defining IPES

  8. Is there a basic PES model? The Production of Ecosystem Services

  9. Upstream Downstream The PES Model Heal, Geoffrey M., Daily, Gretchen, Ehrlich, Paul, Salzman, James E., Boggs, Carol, Hellman, Jessica, Hughes, Jennifer, Kremen, Claire and Ricketts, Taylor, "Protecting Natural Capital through Ecosystem Service Districts" . Available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=279114

  10. Urban Rural The PES Model

  11. Towards ‘ecosystem service districts’? A Landscape-based Supply of Ecosystem Services

  12. Coping with variations in: Endowments in natural, human, social, physical, and financial capital. Costs: opportunity, transaction, etc. Land tenure systems: informal vs. formal regimes; private vs. Public (common property) Institutional capacity: governance, property rights, monitoring, enforcement, etc. Market access: information, elite capture Outstanding issues

  13. “communities living in areas considered ‘sources’ of ecosystem services should be better off with IPES than without it”. The Way Forward

  14. Thank you!
