Have you read this European Forest Institute policy brief by Sven Wunder on payments for #EcosystemServices (PES)? Check it out to discover what it takes to implement a functional #PES scheme and how can #PES help us align supply & demand for #forest environmental services! ➡ https://lnkd.in/dgKb6QVN

Economic indicators such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) don't reflect nature's value. Here's why we need to talk about Gross Ecosystem Product (GEP) 👇 Ecosystem services such as: 🐝 Crop pollination 💧 Water purification 🌳 Climate regulation contribute to the economy both directly and indirectly. However, the GDP shows the total value of output/income generated in a country, but it does not capture fully the contributions of nature to economic activity.

Department of Food and Resource Economics, University of Copenhagen is looking for 1-2 postdocs (2 years with the possibility for extension) to work on #INTERCEDE, researching approaches to incentivise provision of #EcosystemServices from #forests in Europe, with particular focus on market based instruments! The postdoc’s duties will include research within #EnvironmentalEconomics and policy, involving economic valuation methods, #EnvironmentalPolicy analysis, and/or #conservation science, & more! Don't miss this #opportunity to contribute to our project & work together with other partners from across Europe 👇 https://lnkd.in/dUMXXTbs Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen

🌲 🌳 🎉 Exciting News! 🎉 🌳 🌲 We are thrilled to announce that project #INTERCEDE has unveiled its brand new logo, just in time for #WorldEnvironmentDay 🌿✨ #Forests provide us with a myriad of #EcosystemServices, such us #ClimateChange mitigation, #biodiversity protection, #water flow regulation, and recreation, cultural and health services! Celebrate this #WorldEnvironmentDay by learning more about how we will work on market solutions to support forest benefits and services 🔎 Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen | Wageningen University & Research | KU Leuven | Centre de Ciència i Tecnologia Forestal de Catalunya | Università degli Studi di Padova | Prospex Institute vzw | Etifor | Valuing Nature | Fachhochschule Eberswalde | Universitatea „Ștefan cel Mare” din Suceava | Land Life | WWF Bulgaria | European Landowners' Organization

Payments for #EcosystemServices (PES) can help us aligning supply & demand for #forest environmental services, supporting #ForestOwners to improve their #ForestManagement! But how can we make #PES work effectively? ✨🌲 Dive into this European Forest Institute policy brief by Sven Wunder distilling years of accumulated knowledge on what it take to put a functional #PES scheme into place! ➡ https://lnkd.in/dgKb6QVN

Are you managing a Payment for Forest Ecosystem Services? Are you designing a Market-Based Instrument? Are you implementing taxes, cap-and-trade systems, or eco-labels to promote sustainable forest management? Do you work in setting the framework for those economic instruments to thrive? Then note this down 👇 🌳 Exciting Workshop: Advancing Market-Based Instruments & Payment for Ecosystem Services in European Forests 🌳 #INTERCEDE project organises an online workshop dedicated to enhancing the implementation and effectiveness of Market-Based Instruments (MBIs) and Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) in European forest ecosystems 🌲 ✨ INTERCEDE aims at integrating ecosystem services into forest management policies through innovative, market-driven approaches! Workshop Details: 🗓 Date: 11/06/2024 ⏰ Time: 10:00-12:30 (UTC+2) 🌐 Location: Online If you are interested please fill in this form by 30 May 2024 ⬇ https://lnkd.in/e6aazie7 As spaces are limited, organisers will select among those having expressed interest.

In a context of #ClimateChange and #biodiversity loss, it is crucial to stimulate #ForestOwners to improve their #ForestManagement: economic incentives such as payments for #EcosystemServices (PES) could help to better align supply & demand for #forest environmental services! How can we make these #PES work effectively? This European Forest Institute policy brief by Sven Wunder includes recommendations such as: 🔹 Differentiating payments, rather than paying the same per hectare, household or village; 🔹 Paying for environmental results (eg increased biodiversity) rather than actions (eg changed forest management); 🔹 Ensuring provider compliance; & many more insights on preconditions and best practices! 🔎🌲👩🌾 Dive into this policy brief distilling years of accumulated knowledge on what it take to put a functional PES scheme into place! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dgKb6QVN

✨🌿🌲 At #INTERCEDE, project we will work on enhancing forest #EcosystemServices in Europe, but what are they exactly? #Forest ecosystem services are the myriad of benefits that #forests provide us, including: 🔹 #climate mitigation 🌡 🔹 #biodiversity protection 🦋 🔹 #water flow regulation 💧 🔹 recreational and cultural services 🎒 🔹 #health benefits 🧘♀️ 🔹 & many more! Across Europe, we are used to expect multiple benefits and services from our #forests, without always realising that our demands may be conflicting or that forests might provide more such services given the chance to realise their full potential. INTERCEDE will break new ground by examining future supply and demand for #ForestEcosystemServices and looking for effective #MarketBasedInstruments that offer #ForestOwners and managers viable options to manage forests to provide these services! Read more on how we are seeking #MarketSolutions to support forest benefits and services! 🔎 https://lnkd.in/dNjxN6G6 Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen | Wageningen University & Research | KU Leuven | CTFC | Università degli Studi di Padova | Prospex Institute vzw | Etifor | Valuing Nature | Fachhochschule Eberswalde | Universitatea „Ștefan cel Mare” din Suceava | Land Life | WWF Bulgaria | European Landowners' Organization

🌲🌿🎉 Exciting news: we are thrilled to announce that the #INTERCEDE project is now on LinkedIn 🎉🌿🌲 🧐 What is INTERCEDE all about? Kicked off in March 2024, this #HorizonEurope project aims to enhance the value of Europe’s #forests to Europe’s citizens! We will work to foster #EcosystemServices provision in Europe through the development of novel policies and instruments to support #ForestOwners. 🌟 Why does it matter? Forests provide a myriad of benefits to people, including #climate mitigation, #biodiversity protection, #water flow regulation, and cultural and health services. At INTERCEDE, we will target the potential of market-based approaches as incentives to manage forests to provide these valuable services. 🤝 Who's with us? The project is coordinated by Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen and has a consortium of 13 project partners including European Forest Institute, Wageningen University & Research, KU Leuven, CTFC, Università degli Studi di Padova, Prospex Institute vzw, Etifor | Valuing Nature, Fachhochschule Eberswalde, Universitatea „Ștefan cel Mare” din Suceava, Land Life, WWF Bulgaria, European Landowners' Organization.
