Dans ce court laps de temps, une extraordinaire série d'expériences a été mise au point, avec des exemples d'application des PSE à différentes échelles, allant de bassins versants à des états entiers ; dans une variété de contextes, allant des zones reculées de forêt jusqu'aux abords de métropoles comme São Paulo. Une grande variété d'approches ont été appliquées, du paiement direct par les usagers, au commerce sur les marchés réglementés et volontaires de carbone, aux fonds gouvernementaux, ainsi que des combinaisons de ces approches. Dans cet article, nous présentons un aperçu des efforts brésiliens PES à ce jour, et tentons d'extraire les premières leçons.

Paiements pour services environnementaux (PSE), Brésil Cet article est basé sur des études de cas présentées à l'Atelier sur les Paiements pour Services Environnementaux : L'expérience du Brésil, organisé par le Secrétariat de l'Environnement de São Paulo (Secretaria de Estado do Meio Ambiente, SMA) à São Paulo, les 29-30 Mars 2011, dans le cadre de la fermeture du Projet de Restauration des Forêts Riveraines ("Mata Ciliares"), qui a été financé par une donation de 7,75 millions de dollars US du Fonds pour l'Environnement Mondial (GEF). Les études de cas complètes ont été publiées dans Pagiola et autres (2013).

Ademas, en muy raras ocasiones los beneficiarios de esa situacion pagan por los servicios que reciben de dichos ecosistemas, lo que da lugar a que existan muy pocos incentivos para cuidar este tipo de ambientes y a que, por otra parte, se limite el desarrollo rural. Los enfoques basados en el mercado han sido pensados para ofrecer un considerable potencial en cuanto incentivos para la conservacion y el aprovechamiento adecuados de los bosques, asi como para crear nuevas fuentes de ingreso para las poblaciones que viven en el campo. Esta segunda edicion de La venta de servicios ambientales forestales presenta un cuidadoso analisis de multiples casos relacionados con el tema. abarcando materias como la biodiversidad, la conservacion, la proteccion de cuencas y la captura d...

1 Designing Payments for Environmental Services in Theory and Practice: An Overview of the Issues

In this introductory paper, we set the stage for the rest of this Special Issue of Ecological Economics by reviewing the main issues arising in PES design and implementation and discussing these in the light of environmental economics. We start with a discussion of PES definition and scope. We proceed to review some of the principal dimensions and design characteristics of PES programs and then analyze how PES compares to alternative policy instruments. Finally, we examine in detail two important aspects of PES programs: their effectiveness and their distributional implications. PES is not a silver bullet that can be used to address any environmental problem, but a tool tailored to address a specific set of probl...

Even in this short period, an extraordinarily rich range of experiences has developed, with examples of the application of PES at a variety of scales, ranging from microwatersheds to entire states; in a variety of contexts, from remote forest frontier areas to the periurban fringe of megacities like São Paulo; and using a variety of approaches, using direct payments by users, sales to regulated and voluntary carbon markets, government funding, and mixes of these approaches. The World Bank is supporting several of these efforts, particularly in the states of São Paulo and Espírito Santo. Although many of the existing PES mechanisms are intended as pilots for scaled-up programs, their experience has been very poorly documented to date. This lack of documentation makes it difficult for PES efforts within Brazil to learn from each other. It also limits the potential for lessons from Brazil’s efforts to benefit other countries working on PES. Accordingly, the World Bank, in partnership with the São Paulo State Environment Secretariat (SMA), supported the preparation and publication of a set of detailed case studies of PES programs in Brazil. The book includes eighteen detailed case studies.

La venta de servicios ambientales forestales: Mecanismos basados en el mercado para la conservación y el desarrollo

Land degradation is thought to pose a severe threat to the sustainability of agricultural production. Yet despite long-standing concern about this threat and dramatic claims of environmental damage, surprisingly little empirical analysis has been done on the causes and severity of land degradation problems in the region and on how best to tackle them. Meanwhile, many of the conservation programs designed to address the problems have fallen short of expectations. Often farmers have not adopted the recommended conservation practices or have abandoned them once the project ended. The research presented in this article attempts to bridge the empirical gap, using cost-benefit analysis to investigate the nature and severity of the soil degradation problem and to assess the cost-effectiveness of proposed solutions. Because soil degradation problems tend to be site-specific, the analysis is rooted in case studies, and because conservation programs stand or fall on the participation of farmers, the study's main focus is on the profitability of the measures and the deterrents to their adoption from the farmers' point of view. Soil degradation can be defined as a reduction in the land's actual or potential uses (Blaikie and Brookfield 1987). Many cultivation practices tend to degrade soil over time. For example, cultivation can expose soil to water and wind erosion, repeated tillage can weaken soil structure, crop production can remove nutrients, and use of machinery can compact the soil. Central America's mountains and heavy rainfall make much of the region particularly

This allows us to compare environmental and livelihood impacts of PES across regions with different agronomic and socio-economic characteristics. In particular, one of our sites is composed almost entirely of poor or extremely poor households, while the other has households ranging from extremely poor to very well off. The results show that poorer households are in fact able to participate-indeed, by some measures they participated to a greater extent than better-off households. Moreover, their participation was not limited to the simpler, least expensive options. Extremely poor households had a somewhat greater difficulty in participating, but even in their case the difference is solely a relative one. Transaction costs may be greater obstacles to the participation of poorer households than household-specific constraints.

Panel data covering the period 1994–2000 are used to study labor demand and resource reallocation in response to lowland irrigation development. Results illustrate how irrigation has led to changes in employment, incomes, and activities at the forest margin. Findings indicate that the off-farm employment opportunities created by irrigation development have helped to reduce rates of forest clearing. Although some initial employment gains have been reversed, wage-induced increases in agricultural productivity in the uplands have reduced forest pressure. Results show that lowland irrigation has had direct, indirect, and lagged effects on rates of forest clearing, and that a virtuous cycle may be at play, with irrigation leading to both poverty reduction and reduced forest pressure.
