As environmental challenges intensify, Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) are emerging as a tool to align market systems with conservation goals. But how can philanthropy help ensure these mechanisms are effective, equitable, and financially sustainable?
Join us for an interactive online conversation exploring:
- And crucially, how can philanthropic funding help build models that are sustainable, scalable, and connected to wider conservation finance, from carbon markets to green bonds?
- How do these programmes fit into broader climate, biodiversity, and community development goals?
- What ecosystem services are truly being valued and protected?
- Who decides how payments are structured and how transparent are the flows of money and data?
- What governance systems and independent verification processes are in place to ensure credibility and accountability?
- Are communities genuinely benefiting, both economically and socially?
