Enhancing climate and ecosystem outcomes through the promotion and upscaling of payment for environmental services in agriculture
Project Code | 101295784
Main objective |
ECOPESIA is a collaborative effort involving 20 partners from across the environmental services supply chain. Utilising a participatory approach, the initiative aims to co-create and demonstrate PES schemes that are financially sustainable, digitally enabled, and socially inclusive. These schemes will be based on verifiable results and will leverage private funding. Digital tools for monitoring and administration will be deployed, and robust governance frameworks will be co-designed. Eight pilots in six countries will demonstrate result-based PES in representative agroecosystems and socio-economic contexts, across collective and spatially coordinated approaches, ensuring transparent and fair remuneration to farmers linked to measurable outcomes.
