Developing the evidence on beneficiaries for Payment for Ecosystem Services - NR0164
Description
The overall aims of the research are to investigate how wider beneficiary participation in PES (payments for ecosystem services) schemes in England might be encouraged, with a focus on exploring a wider set of potential beneficiaries particularly business sectors with dependencies on the natural environment. A key gap relates to better understanding demand from beneficiaries of ecosystem services, such as businesses, in order to identify future PES opportunities
Objective
The study will be largely a desk-based analytical study and focused on application of PES to an England context. It is important that the research builds on the growing evidence base in this area and ensures the analysis that follows the scoping stage is well targeted to new sectors/beneficiary groups that could be encouraged to participate in PES schemes if appropriate.
