Integral solutions to complex problems: climate change, adaptation policies and payment for ecosystem services schemes

Abstract: Payment for ecosystem services (PES) schemes have been successfully applied in many countries. This paper argues that such schemes, to be effective must be applied holistically, otherwise if applied narrowly might exacerbate the problem, both globally and locally. This paper gathers data from two sites in Colombia, each of which has implemented a PES, one holistically and the other not, and compares the two.

Keywords: resilience; payment for ecosystem services; PES; socioecological systems; Páramos; watershed management; Colombia; climate change; adaptation policies; high mountain ecosystems; water pollution; water resources management. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
