GWP’s contribution

• Support the implementation of techniques aimed at conserving ecosystem services.

• GWP has approached key allies to join efforts towards the establishment of payment for ecosystem services.

• Define and valuate ecosystem services and propose payment mechanisms.

• The results of this process will feed into the bill for payment for ecosystems services.

Thank you for your attention.
