Opportunities of ES
• Reducing a market failure
(externalities):
“if ES have no market, then we don’t take
them into account, unless obligation”
• Meeting social (externals’) demands
with forest managers’ expectations
– Feasibility of multifunctionality
• Potential new sources of funding for
natural resources management

Challenges
1. Technical: Effective ES supply
2. Economic: Fragmented ES demand &
provision
3. Institutional arrangements for ES
4. Cultural factors on ES

human well-being (TEEB, 2010)

PES examples
• Forest maintenance and Water quality in S
France (service fee)
• Fire prevention and fuel tax in Portugal
(earmarked tax)
![Page 8: Supporting the Provision of Ecosystem Services · 2018-02-15 · QualA QualB QualC 0 20 40 80 100 120 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 QualA QualB QualC. Baseline scenario What would have](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050312/5f749e2220e86822377e12fa/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ensuring water quality in La
Verne (St Tropez, France)
• Upstream = high fire risk → dam sedimentation
→ ↓water quality
• Downstream = wealthy turistic area
• Water provider pays the association to help
implementing forest fire prevention plan

CHALLENGE 1:
EFFECTIVENESS
![Page 11: Supporting the Provision of Ecosystem Services · 2018-02-15 · QualA QualB QualC 0 20 40 80 100 120 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 QualA QualB QualC. Baseline scenario What would have](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050312/5f749e2220e86822377e12fa/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Effectiveness!
• Lack of quantitative scientific information on
ES provision and forestry interventions
“if A then B”
“if forestry action A then ↑↓% level of ES”
intuition
proofs, weights, contextual factors...
• Trade-offs?
• Seed-money!!!

Baseline scenario
What would have happened without the
intervention?
Baseline scenarios of the ecosystem services and effects of policy instruments.
Based on (Wunder, 2005)

IDEAS - Effectiveness
• Objective: targeted scientific information
1. Foster applied multidisciplinar studies for
proxies creation
2. Baseline scenarios
3. Manuals for main forest habitats & main
ES (standards)
4. Costs of provision vs ES valuation →
amount

CHALLENGE 2:
FRAGMENTED ES DEMAND &
PROVISION
![Page 16: Supporting the Provision of Ecosystem Services · 2018-02-15 · QualA QualB QualC 0 20 40 80 100 120 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 QualA QualB QualC. Baseline scenario What would have](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050312/5f749e2220e86822377e12fa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Fragmentation
• Small & dispersed private forest owners
• Heterogeneity in behavior
• ES Scale effects
• Small and no-coordinated beneficiaries
→ transaction costs!
→ free-riders
![Page 17: Supporting the Provision of Ecosystem Services · 2018-02-15 · QualA QualB QualC 0 20 40 80 100 120 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 QualA QualB QualC. Baseline scenario What would have](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050312/5f749e2220e86822377e12fa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
IDEAS - Fragmentation
1. Forest owners’ coordination - groupings,
Joint management plans for ES
2. Smart ES/proxies’ control systems
3. Social Capital reinforcement on ES (trust,
innovation, information flows, peer-
control)
4. Intermediary (“broker”) for ES demand

CHALLENGE 3:
INSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGES
![Page 19: Supporting the Provision of Ecosystem Services · 2018-02-15 · QualA QualB QualC 0 20 40 80 100 120 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 QualA QualB QualC. Baseline scenario What would have](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050312/5f749e2220e86822377e12fa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Institutional arrangements
• Property rights’ dimensions / Economic
nature of many ES / Ownership of ES
• Contract length
• Forest managers’ risk aversion
• Flows of €
![Page 20: Supporting the Provision of Ecosystem Services · 2018-02-15 · QualA QualB QualC 0 20 40 80 100 120 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 QualA QualB QualC. Baseline scenario What would have](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050312/5f749e2220e86822377e12fa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
IDEAS - Institutional
arrangements
• Objective: ensure implementation
1. ES Property Rights modification, with
attention to traditional rights (legislation)
2. Portfolio of ES contracts (start with
territorial contracts & snowball effect?)
3. Pluri-annual budgets & commitments
4. Earmarked taxes for ES

CHALLENGE 4:
CULTURAL FACTORS
![Page 22: Supporting the Provision of Ecosystem Services · 2018-02-15 · QualA QualB QualC 0 20 40 80 100 120 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 QualA QualB QualC. Baseline scenario What would have](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022050312/5f749e2220e86822377e12fa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cultural factors
• Traditional “paternalism” vs private,
decentralised initiatives - path dependance
• Traditional “free of cost” ES
• Disconnection with forest problems
• Beneficiary = Consumer?
• Full information? Dynamic values?
• Sensationalism = punctual reactions
• Behavioural patterns of forest managers →
incentive

IDEAS
1. ES awareness: campaigns & participation
2. Progressive sharing of long-term
responsibility (complementary to Gvmt
role): public-private partnerships
3. Check social acceptance of different
approaches (changing minds!)
4. Forest owners from only-wood providers
to (wood+)ES providers
