ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: This document analyses the Brazilian Bolsa Verde programme and four PES schemes from China, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico and one public work programme in South Africa from a social protection point of view by building upon the guidance provided by the Social Protection Floors Recommendation, 2012 (No. 202); (iii) extracts some lessons learnt from existing PES schemes that may be useful when designing, implementing and monitoring social protection programmes such as the Brazilian ‘Bolsa Verde’ programme; (iv) proposes some concrete and innovative ideas on how to combine existing social protection programmes with PES schemes with a view to protecting both people and environment and ultimately supporting the achievement of sustainable development for everyone everywhere.
