Payments for environmental services, biodiversity offsets, permit trading are among the best-known economic mechanisms for conservation finance. What are the latest developments in economic mechanisms through natural capital? What is preventing these mechanisms from developing? What are the pitfalls we need to avoid in developing environmental service markets? What needs to happen to make these mechanisms expand and produce benefits?
This session aims to share case studies and to deliver specific recommendations about making economic mechanisms for natural capital expand and deliver benefits to the right people.
